Orangutan Rescue: On the frontline in Sumatra
Organization information
Sumatran Orangutan Society
Location: Abingdon, United Kingdom
Summary
Sumatran orangutans are rare and precious, and we need to ensure their safe future in the wild. They rely on rainforests to thrive, but forest in Sumatra is under pressure from human activity. As a result, orangutans can become stranded in patches of forest surrounded by plantations. They are at risk of starvation, hunting and poaching. We rescue orangutans and work with farmers to help them protect their crops without harming wildlife.
