How to Bequest to AOP

Bequests
Leaving a gift to Australian Orangutan Project in your Will is a wonderful way to mark your commitment to orangutan conservation and continue to act as a catalyst for change beyond your lifetime.

In years to come your bequest will enable us to continue our vital work in such areas as:

• providing release sites for ex-captive orangutans;
• resources for rehabilitation centres in Sumatra and Borneo;
• anti-logging patrols;
• orangutan protection units; and
• peat swamp conservation.>
