Welcome to the website of the Orangutan Foundation UK. Our aim is to support conservation work in Indonesia and Malaysia and to raise funds and awareness in the UK and overseas.
In Indonesia, the Foundation protects Tanjung Puting National Park and other areas of critical orangutan habitat in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, whilst also caring for and repatriating ex-captive orangutans into the wild.
The Orangutan Foundation seeks to actively advise government policy and educate the public about orangutans, other fauna and flora and their habitat so that this vitally important great ape and rainforest home might be saved from extinction. |

Exciting News - Orangutan Foundation Joins WildlifeDirect. |
 Orangutan Foundation has become one of the first non-African Conservation Organisations to join WildlifeDirect.
WildlifeDirect was the brainchild of renowned conservationist Dr. Richard Leakey and is a blog site set up to promote and support the work of conservationists and organisations doing critical work to protect endangered wildlife and habitats.
Rangers and field workers regularly log on and write a blog to keep you informed about what they have been doing in the field. To date, the website has focused around projects in Africa but now our resident Field Conservationist, Stephen Brend will be writing a regular blog; for the first time ever you will be able to see and read first hand what we are doing in Borneo and Sumatra.
You can read Stephen’s blog here.
