Even in the rainforest, the orangutan babies can get cold. Without the warm comfort of clinging to their mother’s fur, we must provide the next best thing. 

One week's cost of our dedicated caregiver. Our caregivers, or foster ‘mothers’, spend night and day loving and guiding the orphans at the FOREST SCHOOL, giving them the confidence and independence to survive on their own.  

One month's transport costs for our orphans. Having our own vehicles is extremely important to ensure we can respond quickly to emergencies and can move the orangutans between areas of the forest.  

One month's medical expenses for one of our orphans. Sometimes our orangutans get sick, and we need to be ready to look after them. This year a testicular tumour was removed from 10-year-old Robin. Thanks to our generous donors, he is on the road to recovery.  

One month's supply of food for one of our orphans. Orangutans love to eat! They forage for over 400 different food items, including bark, leaves, flowers, vines, some insects for protein, and over 300 types of fruit! Help us keep their diet nutritious and delicious.  

One month's costs of physical enrichment for our orphans. Help us make life for the orangutans more exciting! Physical enrichment can take many forms, but all have the goal of adding variety and spice to the orangutans’ lives.  

Our human caregivers are not forest experts like adult orangutans are. So they need a little help. The forest kit incl. knife, walkie-talkie, wellies, anti-mosquito spray, head lamps to makes sure they can make their way through the dense jungle, keeping the orangutans safe.

We need to stay on our toes to make sure the orangutans at the FOREST SCHOOL are in tip-top health. The emergency health kit makes sure we are always prepared for snake bites, sprained limbs, or anything that could injure the orangutans in the forest.
