WWF - Adopt an orangutan
Help save endangered orangutans
Help protect and save orangutans by adopting an orangutan today.
Within the last decade alone, orangutan numbers have fallen by between 30 and 50%.
Help WWF protect these gentle giants and their forest habitat.
How you are helping the orangutans
- Achieving pan-governmental agreement to conserve the Heart of Borneo
- Creating and extending protected areas of rainforest
- Enforcing existing restrictions on the trade in live orang-utans and products such as palm oil
- Promoting sustainable use of natural resources
- Enabling local communities to manage protected areas
The threats to orangutans
- Habitat destruction and fragmentation due to:
- Land clearance for agriculture and conversion to palm oil plantations
- Illegal and unsustainable logging, which also opens up previously inaccessible areas to poachers
- Forest fires
- Poaching and illegal trade, for both meat and as pets
