Orangutan Protection Foundation is a UK registered charity, recognised by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. (Registration Number: 1144267). At Orangutan Protection Foundation we envisage a world in which the orangutan lives wild, free and safe in the flourishing pristine rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia, fulfilling its role in the preservation of its natural habitat, and safeguarding the survival of its species – in harmony with the indigenous communities of these countries. To make this dream a reality, we are working on two fronts – to protect the orangutan and to preserve the rainforest. We provide funding for the rescue and rehabilitation of starving, ill or injured orangutans who have been taken into care from their devastated habitat, or from the illegal pet trade where they are incarcerated in conditions of cruelty and utter misery. We are also funding efforts to source and secure areas of rainforest into which rehabilitated orangutans can be released back into the wild.
