ADOPT AN ORANGUTAN - ONCE-OFF ADOPTION
Purchase a one-off orangutan adoption to receive your special adoption gift pack and help protect orangutans from extinction.
These intelligent tree-dwellers are clinging to survival
The forests of Borneo were once teeming with orangutans. They are the ultimate forest gardeners, spreading seeds to help maintain the forest ecosystem. But magnificent creatures are now under serious threat of extinction. In the last 40 years, deforestation and unsustainable logging has destroyed 35% of their forest homes, thanks to demand for paper, timber and palm oil products. Humans are also a danger, poaching them for the pet trade, food, or in retaliation when they migrate to agricultural areas and destroy crops. Adopting an orangutan today can help protect them from extinction.

How do WWF gifts make a difference?
Your orangutan adoption could help repopulate, rehabilitate and restore their habitats, symbolising your support for conservation and animal advocacy, and ensuring orangutans remain part of our environment forever. And for each orangutan you assist, you'll help a host other species too.
You'll also teach younger generations about the importance of conservation.
What you'll receive
Your special adoption gift pack includes an optional cuddly orangutan plush toy, fact book, adoption certificate, Living Planet magazine and WWF sticker.
