How to Help

As a non-government funded organisation, we are very grateful for the support from our members and donors as, otherwise, it would be impossible to continue in our endeavours to secure the long-term survival of orangutans in the wild and to raise public awareness of the threats facing orangutans and the rainforest eco-system.

The Orangutan Foundation relies on public support to continue our vital conservation work. By supporting us you are making a direct contribution to the conservation of the orangutan.

Leaving a legacy is the greatest gift you can give us as it provides a secure resource for our crucial work. It is easy to arrange and its impact will be lasting - a secure future for orangutans, forests and people.

Wenda was rescued in October 2009, when she was just one year old. She was found locked in a cage with another baby orangutan in a garage in someone's back yard. She was severely malnourished, had a distended "pot belly", dry skin and very sparse hair. By adopting her you will help to provide her with the loving care she depends upon as she embarks on the slow journey back to the wild. Your adoption will also benefit the other orphans at the centre.

A broad range of gifts, stationery, books and toys are available from our Online Shop. Please have a look now to see all that we have to offer. A fair percentage from all items purchased goes direct to Orangutan Foundation.

We need your help and volunteering opportunities exist in the UK both at our office and at various events, and also in Indonesia via our Volunteer Programme.
