Mission Statement
Our vision is to restore the natural balance for Bornean orangutans. Their survival is at risk solely due to human impact, pushing them to the brink of extinction. Our mission is two-fold. First, we save orangutans in immediate danger through rescue, rehabilitation, and re-introduction to protected rainforests. Second, and equally important, we protect and restore their wild habitat by working alongside the native communities bordering them.
About This Cause
We work in the USA to raise awareness of the plight of the Bornean Orangutan. All three species of orangutan are critically endangered, and a recent study estimated that over 100,000 orangutans have been killed in just the past 17 years as their forest home is logged and burned primarily for the production of palm oil. Our efforts here support the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation organisation in Indonesia. From acquiring protected forests into which rehabilitated orangutans can be released, to aiding the team working to rescue orangutans from human conflict or those sold into the illegal pet trade, from the dedicated babysitters nurturing the orphans through forest school, to the enrichment team and veterinary staff, for all of this and more the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation is fighting to save the orangutan from extinction. Working together we can protect orangutans and their rainforest home, and help to ensure that they can be kept safe for future generations.
