About Orangutan Foundation
The Orangutan Foundation is the foremost orangutan conservation
organisation. We are saving Asia's endangered great ape by protecting their
tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting
research and education.
The approach of the Orangutan Foundation goes beyond that of purely
protecting the orangutan. Critically it also includes a recognition that
orangutan habitat is unique in it's richness of biodiversity and crucial for
local communities, who are as dependant on the forest as is the orangutan.
Conservation is more than protecting a species, it is about saving nature
which includes us, 'the fifth ape'. The efforts of all of us to prevent
global warming will be seen as a defining moment in history, for humanity's
sake and for the health of the whole planet. Tropical forests can play a
significant role in guarding against climate change.
