Event: The Rainforest Run 2020, on 28 June 2020
The Rainforest Run invites you to join a global movement to protect precious orangutan habitat.

Story

I'm taking part in The Rainforest Run in support of International Animal Rescue's orangutan habitat protection project. The Indonesian rainforest is vanishing before our eyes, with studies suggesting that over one million hectares are lost every single year, as a result of forest fires and the systematic destruction of the rainforest, primarily for palm oil production. Orangutans are now on the brink of extinction, as a direct consequence of this mass habitat destruction. Every single day, orangutans are forced out of their forest homes and left to die. International Animal Rescue are committed to rebuilding a future, not just for orangutans, but for every living being that depends on the rainforest for survival. And that means all of us! The rainforests are the lungs of the planet. Without them, none of us stands a chance of survival.

About the charity

We not only save animals from suffering, we also rehabilitate and release them back into the wild, whilst working to protect their habitats. We provide a safe haven for animals that can no longer fend for themselves. In all that we do, we work to find solutions that benefit both animals and people.
