Orangutan Conservation

When you think of endangered species, the orangutan may not be the first picture that springs to mind. These incredibly intelligent great apes are so closely associated with humans that people often assume that they are in no danger of going extinct - but this could not be any further away from the truth.

Orangutan conservation efforts are drastically needed to help provide this species of Great Ape with a future for years to come. Endemic to only Borneo and Sumatra, the orangutans are only found in the ever-depleting rainforests of the two islands and at a number of orangutan sanctuaries scattered. You may wonder what you can do to change the lives of these amazing animals, but the answer is simple. Joining an orangutan conservation project gives you the chance to help ensure a future for the apes, and without the help of dedicated volunteers, it is unlikely that the “man of the forest” will be around for much longer.

If you are considering venturing out to help the orangutans in their Bornean home, then here at The Great Projects we are happy to be able to offer you the chance to do that on some of our amazing orangutan conservation programs. It will be a holiday you'll never forget, so what are you waiting for?
