P.O.N.G.O. (Palm Oil & NGO) Alliance: Living Landscapes for Orangutans, Wildlife, People and Oil Palm

While Orangutan Land Trust focuses primarily on addressing the root causes of the displacement and decline of orangutans, as well as developing long-term solutions, we recognise that caring for the victims of habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, hunting and the pet trade is also a part of the overall conservation of the species.

Orangutan Land Trust supports efforts to protect, manage, restore and enhance forests by providing essential funding for a number of projects in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sabah. Activities include: planting trees to restore and enhance orangutan habitat and to create wildlife corridors, community engagement and alternative livelihoods, patrols, policy work, restoration of peatlands and more.

There is a need to find and secure suitable habitat in West Kalimantan for the eventual release of several dozen orphaned orangutans from that region. If you can help Orangutan Land Trust acquire such an area, please get in touch.

Orangutan Land Trust is a member of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil, and very active in efforts to ensure that the palm oil industry works as sustainably as possible.
