Save Wild Orangutans

Wild Orangutans need your support!


Help save the Wild Orangutans of Borneo!  Join our community and get updates from the field and unique glimpses behind the scenes as you lend your support to our conservation and research activities

Join our cause

Be a part of the movement to protect and study wild orangutans in Borneo’s Gunung Palung.

Only wild orangutans have intact cultural knowledge of how to live in their forest, passed down through the generations, and to save them, we need to protect their habitat.

WHY WILD ORANGUTANS?

Hi I’m Cheryl Knott, orangutan researcher and conservationist. I started the Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Program 20 years ago and our staff of over forty people work hard every day in Indonesia to safeguard wild orangutans in and around Gunung Palung National Park. We’d love to share what we do with all of you! Join our Team Wild Orangutan.

Cheryl Knott, PhD

We work to protect orangutan populations and forest biodiversity in and around Gunung Palung, a key refuge in Indonesian Borneo.
