The orangutans are the three exclusively Asian species of extant great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, orangutans are currently found in only the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. They are endangered due to human destruction of their habitat.

Anybody know how I can watch Orangutan Jungle School? Peacock is supposed to have it but I can't find it. TIA
I've been supporting them for a while now but I realize I don't really know much about the organization or how they compare to others. Does anyone have impressions of their effectiveness as a charity working to support orang conservation?
Hello, we are travelling through Sumatra next month and looking to do a Jungle Tour. Can anyone recommend good guides or companies?
since we are sharing orangutans, here’s my boy borror, he has his own nest to watch me from when i sleep, decided to make it as dark as possible while showing him so you can experience what i do
His name's Maurice and he's the best!
I want to adopt/donate to an orangutan charity. I've seen some posts like these but they're a little older. My main interest is in making sure the maximum donation goes towards helping. I imagine that the cute babies get adopted more often, I think I'd like to support one of the older ones who don't have much of a chance to be released back into the wild. Orangutan Project, WWF, Borneo Orangutan Survival, Orangutan Outreach? Where is the best place to donate?
Had an amazing time at Monkey World with my girlfriend 🤩
Hello I’m looking for merchandise to fuel my orangutan love—I’d love any merch of any kind but does anyone have any recommendations for any shops that donate proceeds or is from a direct organization (provided links are very encouraged and appreciated)
Anything unique caught your eye? Any tshirts that are awesome? Any trinkets that you display in your home? Tell me! 🥰
It looks like full episodes from season 1 of Orangutan Jungle School are slowly being posted to Love Nature: Kids on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@lovenaturekids
The first 4 episodes are online already. It looks like they’re being added one per week. I think this is the only official way to watch season 1 for Canadians since only season 2 is available for streaming on Love Nature.
Just getting the word out. Help The Orangutan Project with theirnew baby house, or BOS with the new site for their Orangutan Jungle School. There’s many ways to contribute. Donate, Adopt , and Support these little guys, The best species on planet earth
Save me my lord
1.) can you help me identify the name of the orangutan from the BOS foundation
2.) where are the studies that closely look at how the hormonal changes of male orangutans cause them to have cheek flaps???? im curious to know how the presence of a flanged male orangutan supresses the hormones of the unflanged orangutan??? Ive tried looking at google scholar however the articles in Indonesian are very outdated (2000s)
