My story

 
With less than 7,300 surviving in the wild, it is predicted that the Sumatran orangutan will be the first Great Ape species to become extinct if current trends continue. The Sumatran Orangutan Society works with local communities living alongside orangutan habitat, helping them work towards a more sustainable future for their forests.

We are working on a new project with the local government and local communities to replant large areas of damaged orangutan habitat inside the Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra. The Leuser forests are the last stronghold for the Sumatran Orangutan, but have been damaged by illegal logging and oil palm plantations inside the protected area.

For every pound you donate we will plant a tree to restore these degraded areas - we have already raised enough to plant over 10,000 trees, help us reach our goal of 25,000 trees by the end of the year!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sumatran Orangutan Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
