About Orangutan Land Trust
Orangutan Land Trust is backed by a Scientific Advisory Board made up of some of the best minds working in orangutan and forest conservation. They represent a number of disciplines and specialties, and a range of regions throughout Malaysia and Indonesia. In this way, Orangutan Land Trust can consider where the greatest needs and best possible outcomes can be found, backed by sound science. Its Board of Trustees includes leaders in academia, business, wildlife conservation and sustainability.
All potential NGO partners in the field are assessed in regards to previous successful outcomes, their expertise, and transparency. Through such partners, we have supported biodiversity surveys, acquisition of land for a forest school for orphaned orangutans, legal assistance in cases where land has been illegally cleared, leasing and management of islands for sanctuary of orangutans, and releases of orangutans.
When you support Orangutan Land Trust, we are able to use the funds to investigate land to ensure that it is suitable to use for orangutans as well as secure and protect the land to ensure that it remains a safe and flourishing habitat in an effort to keep wild orangutans from extinction.
Orangutan Land Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales (Number 1131878).
