ADOPT AN ORPHANED ORANGUTAN
LOGOS
Logos is a four-year-old male orangutan. He joined the soft-release programme in 2023 after being intercepted in Java, Indonesia on his way to becoming an illegal pet
SINTA
Sinta is a four-year-old female orangutan who was rescued in March 2023 when she was found abandoned by the riverside. We never determined the whereabouts of her mother.
From just £30 a year you can make a real difference in helping these orangutans return to a life in the wild.
When you adopt an orangutan with the Orangutan Foundation, you will receive:
A personalised adoption certificate & orangutan fact sheet
Bi-annual updates on your adopted orangutan and our Red Ape newsletter
A copy of Orangutan Foundation’s Anniversary Booklet
A photo of your individual orangutan (postal adoptions only)
Choice between soft-toy orangutan, orangutan keyring or an adoption sticker (postal adoptions only)
If you have any questions or would like more information please contact us.
All adoption funds contribute directly towards the care and protection of orangutans in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. Find out more about our soft-release programme.
