Adoptions

Only 1 out of 6 orphans are lucky enough to be rescued - nearly 1,000 orphaned orangutans are living in rescue and rehabilitation centres. Care of these infants is costly and requires 24hr staff, veterinary, and nurse care to ensure they are in a healthy condition and have the best chance to survive – and possibly even return to the wild.

For the small sum of $55 (or $110 for the twins) you can make a real difference and help these infants survive.

All adoption money goes directly to helping the infants at the various care centres we support:

Care and Quarantine Centre in Pangkalan Bun, Borneo, Indonesia.
Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Project, Borneo, Indonesia.
Batu Mbelin Orangutan Quarantine Centre, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

We are in regular contact with the staff at the centre and AOP representatives visit the centre several times a year to get updates on the infants and see how they are progressing.

For the small sum of $55 you can make a real difference and help these infants survive.
All adoption money goes directly to helping infants at care centres we support in Malaysia and Indonesia, for more information on the care centres see our Projects.

Each infant adoption costs just $55 (or $110 for the twins) per year. Each adoption pack includes:

adoption passport (can fold-out and be framed)
infant biography (full colour image & photo)
information about the projects you'll be supporting
10% discount voucher for all items in our shop (valid for 3 months)
infant updates available via our website

Infant Updates

AOP provides bi-annual updates on each of our infant orangutans available for adoption. This allows you to track their progress and see how they are being rehabilitated.

Due to the large number of infants requiring care it is simply not possible for us to offer exclusive adoptions for each and every one of them - but rest assured that your adoption fees are being used to give your adopted infant, along with many more just as needy, the best care possible. Each adoption offers real care to real infants. All prices are in Australian dollars and include, where applicable, gst. Updates occur bi-annually.
