Giving Season
GIVE A GIFT TO HELP ORANGUTANS THIS GIVING SEASON!
It’s that time of year when our thoughts turn to giving gifts and making a difference for the people, animals, and causes that we love. Orangutan Outreach can help you with that! Please read about the needs of our partners in Indonesia, and choose where to allocate your donation.
Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program (SOCP)
Landslide Relief - Rebuild the Quarantine Center
On November 27, 2024 several major landslides struck the SOCP Orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Center in North Sumatra. The landslides were triggered by exceptionally heavy rainfall and caused extensive damage to key infrastructure, including the main veterinary clinic and multiple orangutan enclosures. No injuries were sustained by the staff. However, two orangutans did not survive the landslide... and the scale of the destruction to the center is immense. The cost to rebuild is staggering. Your gift to SOCP will help make necessary repairs so the center has the capacity to continue caring for orphaned and displaced orangutans.
Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF)
New Forest School for Orangutan Rehabilitation
The BOS Foundation is building a new Forest School for the orangutans undergoing rehabilitation. The area around the current Forest School is becoming increasingly crowded with human activity. This has created an urgent need to relocate the Forest School to a new area that more closely resembles the natural habitat of orangutans. The new area, however, lacks supporting facilities and access to the forest. Your gift to BOSF will help fund safe walking paths into the forest; a workstation that will be used for rest and storage of supplies; and a new playground for the young orangutans.
Orangutan Haven
Sanctuary Care for Unreleasable Orangutans
Orangutan Haven is the forever home for 7 rescued Sumatran orangutans who require long-term care as they can never be released into the wild due to ill health, permanent injury, or physical disabilities. The sanctuary provides each individual with an enriching environment and an excellent quality of life in a spacious and naturalistic setting. The 5 large adult males and 2 females live on individual man-made islands. The islands are covered in grass, are heavily vegetated, and are equipped with abundant climbing structures and comfortable places to rest. Your gift to the Haven will help provide medicine, health care, food and enrichment to the orangutans for the rest of their long lives.
Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF)
Research Camp Expansion
Borneo Nature Foundation works to protect some of the most important areas of tropical rainforest in the world including the peat swamps of Sebangau National Park, which is home to the world's largest population of protected orangutans. Their base of operation is the Natural Laboratory of Peat-swamp Forest (LAHG), a special zone within Sebangau National Park. This permanent research station has become a Centre of Excellence for Research, Conservation and Education. At this time, BNF is planning an expansion of the LAHG camp to increase accommodation and improve essential facilities. Your gift to BNF will help fund much needed repairs and additions to the camp so that research and monitoring of wild orangutans can safely continue.
Additional Activities
Help where it is Needed
Orangutan Outreach supports several projects and partnerships throughout Indonesia. We provide funding to our partners on a quarterly basis, which comes from orangutan adoptions, earmarked donations and emergency appeals. However, we cannot always predict what additional funding requests we will receive. We keep a separate fund available for these requests. Your gift to Orangutan Outreach may help to provide supplies for orangutan post-release monitoring teams; equipment for fire-fighting teams; additional rangers to patrol conflict areas; and support of local villagers who assist our partners in their work.
