Orangutan Outreach’s mission is to protect orangutans in their native forests of Borneo and Sumatra while providing care for orphaned and displaced orangutans until they can be returned to their natural environment. If they cannot be released, we will do everything in our power to ensure they have a life of dignity and the best possible long-term care. We seek to raise funds and promote public awareness of orangutan conservation issues by collaborating with partner organizations around the world.

Orangutan Outreach envisions a world in which wild orangutans are fully protected and allowed to live freely and undisturbed in their natural forest habitats in Borneo and Sumatra. We further propose that any orangutan who is unable to live in his or her rainforest home will receive compassionate care in a sanctuary for the duration of their life.
