Protecting the forests where orangutans live is the first priority in terms of ensuring orangutan survival  as species in the wild.  Illegal activities, such as logging, clear-cutting, and poaching, represent real and constant threats to the survival of all wildife in the forest, including orangutan populations.

When forests are damaged, fragmented, burned, or cut, orangutans are exiled from the only life they know. Orangutans driven out of their arboreal homes are slow, helpless, and extremely vulnerable to people, disease and starvation.

Help us patrol Tanjung Puting National Park and its surounding forests!

The sun sets on the forests at the edge of Tanjung Puting National Park. We hope that the sun will never permanently set on the forests where orangutans live.
