EARTH DAY 2024: PLANET VS PLASTICS
Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day to honour the planet that is home to us all.
A huge thanks to everyone who supported us on Great Apes Giving Day, which took place on 4 October this year. Through this exciting 24-hour fundraising campaign, organised by Arcus Foundation, in partnership with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and hosted by Razoo<, we raised $5,050, plus qualified for a cash prize of $1,250 as the 3rd top fundraiser for sanctuaries in Asia. Throughout the event we also won additional prizes of $300 through matching Golden Tickets – whereby each hour a $100 gift “Golden Ticket” was randomly assigned to a pledged donation. Thank you to donors Karin Rudvin, Jacqueline Hutagaol and one anonymous donor for winning us this extra support.
This was a great opportunity for us to spread awareness and new support for our life saving work with Bornean orangutans and if you haven’t yet given, it’s not too late! Donations are still being accepted throughout Monday, October 10 2016.

It was a usual day at the Nyaru Menteng forest school, where young orangutans were learning from one another while their human surrogate mothers looked on from below.
Our Post-Release Monitoring (PRM) team at Camp Himba Pambelum in Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (TNBBBR), Central Kalimantan, encountered Suci, a young female orangutan, three times back in 2023.
