Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
The orang-utan could be extinct in the wild within a generation so myself and a group of colleagues have volunteered to travel to Borneo in May 2006 to help prevent the extinction of one of our closest genetic relatives.
At most, 20,000 orangutans still exist in the wild, which is 30 to 50 percent fewer than were estimated 10 years ago. Once ranging throughout Southeast Asia, the species now occupies only small pockets of habitat on the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. While their future is tied to their habitat, putting their fate primarily in the hands of the Indonesian and Malaysian people whose land they share, it also depends on the global economics that drive the timber market, as well as the worldwide market for illegal pets.
Sabah, the second largest state in Malaysia, is situated in the north of Borneo. We will be working in the heart of the jungle in the north east of Sabah to do essential construction and reconstruction work on two projects: to prevent deforestation and retain one of the few remaining natural habitats of the orang-utan and to provide essential infrastructure for an orang-utan rehabilitation project.
In addition to the project work we are undertaking we will be raising funds for Barnardo's and Get Connected - two outstanding charities supporting children and young adults throughout the UK. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me and if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Thanks in advance for your support and generosity! Please wish me luck!
