Orangutans are clinging to survival in shrinking patches of forest. If the rainforest disappears, so will they. With your help, we can change the fate of orangutans, forests and communities in Sumatra, and realise our vision of wild orangutans thriving in safe forests.

Situation
Rainforests in Sumatra are under immense and mounting threat. Driven by economic pressures, they are being cleared to make way for farmlands, logging, renewable energy projects, mining and roads. Orangutan populations are left fragmented and isolated as roads and plantations carve up the forest. This causes conflict with local communities when the stranded orangutans are forced to resort to raiding crops.
Solution
Our conservation greenprint has three branches, which together offer a lifeline to wild orangutans: PROTECT - We will keep intact forests standing through conservation solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. CONNECT - We will create and protect forest corridors to stop orangutans becoming isolated. RESTORE - We will reclaim and restore land for wildlife, giving orangutans space to thrive in healthy, protected forests.
