We are working hard to protect the Bornean orangutan and its habitat for future generations. Here are some of the ways we've helped develop a world where orangutans and nature thrive.
Wild orangutan populations and their habitat have continued to decline in size leading to the IUCN reclassification of Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) to Critically Endangered > http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/17975/0.
Thanks to all of you, we have finally reached our ultimate fundraising goal for our new Baby House at Nyaru Menteng! Stay tuned for more news soon on our progress and plans for this much needed facility.
This year the conservation status of Bornean orangutans was upgraded by IUCN from Endangered to Critically Endangered.
The survival of Bornean orangutans is continually under threat due to habitat destruction and hunting for the illegal pet trade.
Like a never-ending story, our rescue team from Nyaru Menteng have again rescued another baby orangutan that was being kept as a pet illegally by a local villager, this time in South Barito, Central Kalimantan.
