This is Kesi, an orphaned orangutan who found sanctuary at Nyaru Menteng. She lost her left hand whilst clinging on to her mother who was being macheted to death by palm oil plantation workers. Though disabled, with the love and dedication of staff, Kesi is now an excellent tree climber and nest builder and a wonderful role model for newly arriving orangutan orphans.
Though their world is shrinking and the orangutans are having to endure cruelty and trauma, there is still hope left. We can stop this inhumane treatment, if we stand together and act now.
Lomon spent years chained up in a wooden box, & when he was rescued, he weighed only 1/3 of what he should. Through the love & attention he recieved at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation he has now gained not only the weight he needed, but also his self-confidence. Why not help by adopting him?

Ruthie
Ruthie also lives at the Borneo Survival Foundation - she was expelled from Forest School for biting. Without attending school she has no chance of being returned to the wild. However, given enough time and attention, there is still hope for her. Click on her picture to learn more about how to adopt her.
I fell in love with the beautiful orangutan after watching 'Orangutan Diaries'. Now I'm a keen supporter of saving this species from extinction & of the amazing work of Lone Dröscher Nielsen. I'm only 1 voice, but trying to get the plight of the orangutan heard by as many people as possible.
There are other campaigns which I'm also passionate about. Over time I hope to create blogs for each, getting vital messages across to anyone willing to read them.
