Sumatran orangutan

Human-orangutan conflict is a serious and growing threat to this critically endangered species. As farmlands encroach into forest areas, orangutans become trapped and isolated, often resorting to crop-raiding for survival. This project evacuates orangutans in danger, returning them to safe forests, works with farmers to reduce and avoid the causes of conflict, and supports law enforcement for the protection of orangutans and their forests.
