All of these orangutans are orphans at Orangutan Foundation International's care center in Kalimantan on the island of Borneo. Each baby has a sleeping nest to provide a measure of security and warmth to them. In addition, there is round-the-clock care. Why not adopt an orphan as a special gift? The "adopt" link is at the top, right-hand side of www.orangutan.org
You can also help restore the rainforest through OFI's program to plant trees in previously destroyed forest areas.

Rain forest habitat is rapidly disappearing. For people who really want to make a difference, please consider a donation to help OFI buy more land to be set aside as protected habitat, as is the case with Camp Leakey in the Tanjung Puting National Park on the island of Borneo. This is one of only two islands on our entire planet where the gentle orangutans exists in the wild.

The top soil in the rain forest is actually quite thin, and once the natural vegetation is removed (for logging or in the process of clearing for palm oil plantations), the lush forest becomes a hot, sandy desert - - a cement pit, like the one below.

Why not make a difference in the world every time you are in the grocery store! Check product labels on processed, packaged foods (a lot of junk food) -- cookies, cold cereals, crackers, so-called "health and diet bars," calcium chews marketed for women, candies, and microwave popcorn, -- and buy brands that do not contain palm oil. In recent months, governments and companies have been trying to work together to find ways to grow palm oil in a sustainable manner, and we applaud these conservation efforts.

There are so many little ones being cared for in all age-group sections of the Orangutan Foundation Care Center.

Extinction means something is gone forever. The Great Apes are all threatened, but predictions are that the gentle orangutans may be the first to become extinct unless more action is taken.
