Celebrate Orangutan Day on August 19th

Orangutans, our intelligent and gentle cousins, are facing a serious threat of extinction. On August 19th, Orangutan Day, we come together to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect these amazing creatures and their habitat in Sumatra and Borneo. What better way to celebrate Orangutan Day than by raising money to directly benefit our forest friends and their homes? Below, we discuss some ways you can fundraise and be a warrior for the Critically Endangered orangutan this Orangutan Day 2023.

Use the power of social media for good by setting up your own fundraiser on Facebook. It's simple and effective. Just head to Facebook Fundraisers, select Wildlife Conservation International Fund (our umbrella organization), set your target, and describe why you are raising money for The Orangutan Project. Share it with your friends and family, and together, we can protect these precious orangutans from extinction.
