    Situation

    Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered. Last year, the Tapanuli species was discovered. Only 800 of these animals remain. They are under threat from a proposed dam. Their precious forest is being bulldozed and burned to make way for farmlands, roads and mines. Deforestation has doubled in recent years, and we are having to rescue more orangutans. Please act now to stop these forests dying, and give orangutans a safe future in the wild, where they belong.

    Solution

    Orangutans need trees. We protect their forest home and keep it safe long-term. We back the brave men and women on the frontline in Sumatra, the people who plant the tree seedlings, chainsaw the illegal oil palms, evacuate orangutans in danger and patrol the forests. We provide support and training to help local people protect the rainforest. We also lobby politicians, financiers and businesses to change their way of working, so that Sumatra can thrive in harmony with the forest.
