Orangutans are an endangered species, with an estimated 50,000 left in the wild. The greatest threat to their survival is the extensive destruction of the rainforest. Some experts say about 6,000 orangutans are disappearing every year and without our collective help orangutans could be extinct in the wild within our lifetime. We work to save the orangutan by rescuing and rehabilitating them, with an ultimate goal of releasing them back to the forest where they will be safe from human development, poaching and farming. By supporting us, you help us to: rescue, rehabilitate and release orangutans provide public awareness and educational programs protect existing rainforest habitat, and support and educate the people who depend on forests to earn their living. Being totally dependent on donations and support from wonderful Australians like you, means we can send more money where it’s needed – to the endangered orangutans in Indonesia.

AFAP works in over 20 countries in sectors ranging from water and sanitation to health, education, environment (climate change) and conservation, food security, and emergency relief.
