Raising money for

Orangutan Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1095660

The Orangutan Foundation is the world's foremost orangutan conservation organisation. We are saving Asia's endangered great apes by protecting their tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting research and education.

The approach of the Orangutan Foundation goes beyond that of purely protecting the orangutan. Critically it also includes a recognition that orangutan habitat is unique in it's richness of biodiversity and crucial for local communities, who are as dependant on the forest as is the orangutan.

Conservation is more than protecting a species, it is about saving nature which includes us, 'the fifth ape'. The efforts of all of us to prevent global warming will be seen as a defining moment in history, for humanity's sake and for the health of the whole planet. Tropical forests can play a significant role in guarding against climate change.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On 6 June 2009 Kat and Jo will be joining in on a (fancy-dressed!?!!) sponsored walk from Ely to Waterbeach (14 miles) to raise money for the endangered Orangutans!
If you are able to sponsor us any amount that you can afford, it would be really appreciated!
Orangutans have lost 80% of their habitat in the last twenty years. According to the World Bank, at the current rate of deforestation, there may be no lowland forest left outside of protected areas in Kalimantan by 2010. Continued loss of habitat could result in the extinction of the orangutan. The pet trade and poaching is also having a devastating effect on the population of Orangutans and a contribution from you would support:
-Protection of critical orangutan habitats including Tanjung Puting National Park
-Scientific research
-Education and awareness raising
-Capacity building and development of local partners
-Sustainable livelihood projects
-Orangutan rehabilitation and release

..and also can you imagine us two walking 14 miles?!! lol

Thank you,
Kat and Jo xx
