The Project

100 years ago there were thought to be 315,000 orangutans in the wild. There are now less than 6,600 left in Sumatra, and less than 54,000 in Borneo. With the current rate of destruction, orangutans will be the first great apes to become extinct by 2016, along with 20,000 ha of rainforest and the other specieis that live with them. Our mission is to stop this extinction - to ensure the survival of orangutans in the wild for our generation and all future generations by working together with our partners, supporters and the community.
