Frank the Orangutan

Description

Meet Frank the orangutan who lives in the rainforests of Borneo. Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates on the planet, they have learned to use sophisticated tools to gather food and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. They are happy and content, living in harmony with their natural surroundings.

However, Frank is in danger, along with all three orangutan species, are facing critical endangerment.

Let us join Frank in his quest to save the orangutans to protect their home and ensure that these precious creatures continue to be around for many generations to come.

Choose products that use sustainable palm oil: Look for products that use “Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)” certification labels. The RSPO is an organization that promotes the use of sustainable palm oil and helps to protect the environment and the rights of local communities.

One of the biggest challenges facing orangutan conservation is the destruction of their natural habitat. The rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra are being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for palm oil plantations, leaving orangutans with nowhere to live. The palm oil industry is a major contributor to deforestation, and many companies are unwilling to change their practices.

Another challenge is the illegal pet trade, which is driven by a demand for baby orangutans as exotic pets. Orangutans are highly intelligent and social animals and taking them away from their families and natural habitat can cause them severe distress and harm.

By supporting Frank, you are helping to protect these amazing animals.
