Reforestation Takes Decades – Destruction Takes Seconds

Did you know that we are losing 6% of the world’s forests every year to palm oil? The expansion of palm oil plantations, many of them illegal, is the single most significant threat to the survival of the orangutans.

Everyone Can Help To Stop This Destruction

Yes, everyone. First of all, check your shopping. Don’t buy items that contain palm oil - and you’d be surprised how many do.

Secondly, support AOP’s Safeguard program. It gives practical support to the Orangutan Protection Units, the frontline patrols that are actually managing to deter illegal logging and land clearing in Borneo and Sumatra. They also provide much needed employment for the young men in the area whose only other option is to work in the palm oil plantations – or not work at all.

Where Your Money Goes

The Safeguard program raises money specifically for Orangutan Protection Units. Your donation goes towards the patrols’ running costs – equipment, uniforms and wages Every contribution is welcome and appreciated! Donate Here!
