Why?
Because of the increase in the palm oil trade - palm oil is oil used in food, and to get it manufacturers cut down African oil palm trees - the home of orangutans.
How Can I Help?
There are many ways you can help support the orangutans. For example:
- Adopt and sponsor an orangutan
- Buy palm oil free products when possible
- Support BOS (Borneo Orangutan Survival)
All these can be done at the following website: http://www.orangutans.com.au/Default.aspx
This site includes a sponsor-an-orangutan page, a page about the rare sun bears, a page about helping orangutans through your school, an online shop, a list of palm-oil free products, and much, much more stuff!
Help the orangutans - primates helping primates.
Also see http://www.wwf.org.au/ - a site dedicated to the well being of animals. Definitely worth a look!
