The Orangutan Foundation works in Borneo to save orangutans and their rainforest habitat. Orangutan populations have declined drastically in the last 5 years due to loss of habitat and the illegal pet trade. The Foundation works to rehabilitate ex-captive orangutans for eventual release into the wild, and to plant indigenous trees as part of a reforestation programme. By protecting the rainforest, the Foundation not only saves orangutans, but all the animals that depend on the forest for survival.
