Orangutans are facing unique challenges. Urgent help is needed at Orangutan Fund International to keep research and conservation efforts active. The Tanjung Puting rainforest is being threatened by illegal loggers. This area is home to many orangutans, as well as the scientists who are studying and helping them.
It is particularly
important to help preserve the habitat of Orangutans. They live in some
of
the most endangered rainforests in the world. Indonesia is a prime
exporter of exotic woods. Most of the wooden 'handcrafted objects' sold in
major department stores in America are imported from Indonesia. It only
takes a little effort to be aware of what you are buying,
but it can make a big
difference. Learn
what products to avoid to help conserve the orangutans' habitat. Visit the
Balikpapan Orangutan Society
