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 my fund raising page especially with the recession and all!

...and no I wil not be running in an orangutan suit though I will be eating bananas!

Not only are Orangutans the largest animal to live almost solely in trees they are incredibly emotionally intelligent primates, they have been seen rowing down rivers and orphans are seriously traumitised needing years of rehabilitation, they are so like us that a GP would be able to treat their medical ailments.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orangutan Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
