“Without free animal life
we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen.”
-Alice Walker

Help others to become Orang Aware

We can't expect everyone to be as passionate about orangutans as we may be, but through awareness events, we can help people make a personal connection and show them that the survival of orangutans has a direct impact on their own lives - on their own survival.

Show them how the products they buy have a direct impact on forests and on countless species of animals half way around the world - And that what happens half way around the world effects them right here at home.
It is a small world, after all! The tremendous amounts of carbon released from the cutting and burning of the orangutans rainforest home has a direct impact on climate change and climate change affects us all, no matter where we live.

If we can help people make that connection, then they will see that they do indeed have a personal stake in the survival of orangutans.
