GUARDIAN OF LAMANDAU

Become a GUARDIAN OF THE LAMANDAU WILDLIFE RESERVE and actively protect:

  • 158,144 acres of tropical peat forest (one acre is the approximate size of a football pitch) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo

  • 600 critically endangered orangutans, a number which continues to increase as more are rescued and released.

  • Thousands of threatened species including gibbons, pangolins, clouded leopards, sun bears and proboscis monkeys

  • 36.5 million tonnes of stored carbon

 

It costs £200,000 a year to protect the Reserve and we need your help to safeguard it.

The Orangutan Foundation’s 60+ Indonesian staff work on the frontline of conservation. They guard and patrol the forests and rivers. They rescue and monitor the orangutans. They replant and nurture tree saplings to strengthen this vital habitat. They gain trust and support from local communities.

Without our staff the forests and the wildlife will disappear. Will you help them?

As a Guardian, you will receive:

  • a factsheet about Lamandau Reserve.

  • an annual Guardian of the Lamandau Report updating you on the progress of the work you are supporting.

  • a subscription to Red Ape - our biannual Orangutan Foundation newsletter.
