International Orangutan Awareness Weekend

Join us and help draw awareness to the fragile state of orangutan habitats and see what you can do to assist in the conservation of these charismatic primates.

While exact numbers are unknown, one thing is for sure: the number of orangutans in the wild is decreasing drastically. In Sumatra the latest calculations show that orangutan numbers have been reduced from 12,000 in 1993 to only about 6,500 today. In Borneo fewer than 40,000 orangutans are believed to remain.
