Adopt an Orang-Utan

  • Charity

    WWF Adopt An Animal

Species : Orang-utan

Help WWF to safeguard the future of wild orang-utans, and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges that we face today.

About Orang-utans

Orang-utans are now found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Habitat destruction and fragmentation - caused by commercial logging and clearance for oil palm plantations and agriculture - are by far the greatest threats that these amazing creatures face. If the current rate of deforestation continues, Borneo could lose most of its lowland forests in less than ten years.
