World Ape Fund

We're a charity organisation run by scientists. Our aims are to help & protect apes from the dangers that they face in the wild, such as the illegal pet trade.

Apes are under threat from such things as logging, palm oil production, mining and the illegal bushmeat & pet trade. We are primarily a team of academic primatologists and conservationists who are passionate about protecting apes and raising awareness of the dangers that they face in their natural habitats. Our Main Goals & Aims

Protect apes from:

Habitat destruction
Bushmeat trade
Pet trade. E

We aim to support projects that educate local people about the dangers that apes face. We aim to support projects that help to involve the local community in protecting apes, such as helping to care for apes in sanctuaries. Research

We support and conduct research that helps to further our understanding of conservation issues involved in protecting apes. We also conduct research that not only raises the awareness of ape intelligence, but also helps to keep the apes mentally active, such as giving sanctuary-living apes food puzzles to solve.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Biruté Galdikas, a true pioneer in orangutan conservation. Her lifelong dedication and groundbreaking work have helped protect and preserve these incredible animals in the wild.
Here is the original 1975 National Geographic story highlighting her passion, commitment, and the early impact of her efforts. Her legacy will continue to inspire generations to care for and defend wildlife: https://bit.ly/4syEovT
