You can help to protect this globally important forest ecosystem. Gifts provide invaluable support to our crucial ongoing work in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. Integral to this are our skilled staff, reliable equipment, and sound infrastructure.
The Orangutan Foundations 60 Indonesian staff work on the frontline of conservation. They guard and patrol the forests and rivers. They rescue and monitor the orangutans. They replant and nurture tree saplings to enhance this incredible habitat. They gain trust and support from local communities.
Donating to the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve actively protects:
158,144 acres of tropical peat forest (one acre is the approximate size of a football pitch) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo.
Over 600 critically endangered orangutans - a number which continues to increase as more are rescued and released
Thousands of threatened species including gibbons, pangolins, clouded leopards, sun bears and proboscis monkeys.
36.5 million tonnes of stored carbon.
The future of Bornean orangutans will very much depend on the long-term security of large, strictly-protected forests - The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016.
