Forest clearance for logging, mining and palm plantations has led to a consistent decline in orangutan numbers over the last ten years. The species is now only found in relic populations on the South East Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The Sumatran orangutan is classified as critically endangered and the Borneos as endangered. Logging and plantations are not only cutting into the orangutans rainforest habitat, but also opening up previously inaccessibly areas to poachers. Forest invaders often shoot orangutan mothers and take their babies to be sold as pets.
Orphan orangutans lucky enough to be rescued and taken to the Orangutan Foundations Care Centre in Southern Borneo receive the treatment, comfort and love they desperately need. They also gradually learn the essential survival skills that will enable them to return to the wild. Many orphans have been successfully rehabilitated and now live independently in safe parts of the Lamandau Nature Reserve.
By adopting Wenda - the orangutan on CWIs adoption programme - you will ensure that she receives all the care she needs as she is rehabilitated to the wild. You will also help rescue and care for other orphan orangutans at the centre.
