Help ensure the noble orangutans successful return to the wild!
Every day, Borneos rainforests are being cut down, leaving many orangutans homeless. Mother orangutans are often killed and their babies are captured and sold as pets.
Orphaned orangutans are rescued by Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) and brought to their rehabilitation facility located in Central Kalimantan (Borneo, Indonesia). There, they receive medical attention, food, love, and specialized training to prepare them for release back into the wild. Caring for more than 330 orangutans at OFI is an expensive, round-the-clock effort, requiring large amounts of food, medical supplies, and special equipment.
Click now to provide nourishing milk, fresh fruit, life saving medicine and care, vitamins and special foods, and enrichment supplies for 50 days.
