Critically endangered orangutans need your help
Alone and terrified baby orangutans are being snatched from the wild.
Orangutan poaching is driven by the illegal trade in wild animals. Babies are sold for a high price as pets on the black market or end up in the tourism industry. And behind almost every baby sold, a mother orangutan has been killed.
We need your help. Donate today to rescue orangutans from a life in captivity.
Sumatran orangutans are among the most endangered primate species in the world. There are fewer than 14,000 left in the wild. With so few orangutans left, we must do all we can to protect them. Your donation could help to safeguard the future of the species. Together with the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP), we can help ensure they are not lost from the wild.
Right now, orangutans are suffering a life in chains as victims of the cruel wildlife trade. Will you help rescue them?

Chocolate was stolen from his mother as she likely lay wounded and dying
Orangutan babies need their mothers for up to seven years. Without them, they cannot survive in the wild. This deep bond is the reason why poachers would have likely brutally beaten Chocolate’s mother until she could no longer fight back and protect her baby.
Don’t let another orangutan suffer like this. You can help end this terrible trade.
Sold into the illegal pet trade, Chocolate spent years chained in a village. Frightened, isolated and unable to live as a wild orangutan should.
When he was finally rescued, he was malnourished, traumatised and alone.
We need your help to rescue orangutans who have suffered so much and create a future where every baby grows up safe.
