Donate Crypto & Save Orangutans
Orangutans are CRITICALLY ENDANGERED in the wild!
Make a crypto donation to support Orangutan Outreach’s mission to rescue and rehabilitate endangered orangutans in Borneo & Sumatra.
Why Donate Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies to Orangutan Outreach?
By donating cryptocurrency, you can make a meaningful difference in the fight to save orangutans! A cryptocurrency donation is classified as property by the IRS, which means it is not subject to capital gains tax and is tax-deductible. We are working with The Giving Block to make donating cryptocurrency as easy as possible. Learn more on The Giving Block's website.
Orangutan Outreach welcomes collaborations with builders in the Web3 space. We are truly grateful for support from NFT projects— especially Yuga Labs & the Bored Ape Yacht Club. We even have our own Bored Ape Ambassador named Julius. We invite you to meet Julius and learn more about his Bored in Borneo Initiative. You can also check out Julius's animated adventures!
Why Do Endangered Orangutans Need Your Help?
Orangutan Outreach has been fighting since 2007 to protect wild orangutans in their forest homes and to assure that orphaned and displaced orangutans receive the care and support they need until they can be safely returned to their natural environment.
Together with our partners, we care for nearly 800 orangutans across several care centers! The long-term goal is to rehabilitate and release all the orangutans back into the forest, but many of them will not be able to return to the forest. Instead, they will need permanent sanctuary care for the rest of their lives— and orangutans can live into their 50s or beyond! Our goal is to provide these "unreleasable" orangutans with a life of dignity in cage-free sanctuaries. We also have several pilot reforestation programs totaling approximately 200+ acres. We are starting from seedlings and working with indigenous villagers in Borneo.
Your Support Can Make a Lasting Difference
Orangutans face many challenges including deforestation, poaching, and capture for sale on the black market. Funds are needed to continue to rescue, rehabilitate and release orphaned and displaced orangutans. We also need funds to build cage-free sanctuary space (retirement) and reforest areas that have been burned or destroyed. Learn more about our work here.
