The Orangutan Project updated their cover photo. January 13 at 8:06pm · Edited · . Save a life and safeguard the orangutan species from extinction Adopt an orphan orangutan - who will you choose? Each adoption helps our orangutans learn how to care for themselves and survive in the wild Every orphan orangutan cared for by The Orangutan Project has lost its mother due to poaching, or she might have been killed from wandering into an encroaching palm oil or paper plantation. It is heartbreaking for these infant orangutans who have seen their own mother killed and they have been left abandoned. The lucky orphans that are rescued by our caring staff get to go to ‘forest school’ where they learn how to care for themselves and survive in the wild, to ensure they are prepared for when they are eventually released. They learn many forest skills, including how to build their own nests and hunt for food. Only 1 out of 6 orphans are lucky enough to be rescued - over 1,000 orphaned orangutans are living in rescue and rehabilitation centres. Care of these infants is costly and requires 24hr staff, veterinary, and nurse care to ensure they are in a healthy condition and have the best chance to survive – and possibly even return to the wild. From as little as $65 you can make a real difference and help these infants survive. To adopt an orangutan please visit orangutan.org.au/adopt_orphan_orangutan Thank you for your support to help all these orphans to return to the wild
