Help Save the Borneo Orangutans
By treehugga | July 1, 2008
Last year the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) supporters raised the money to save Nyaru Menteng, the world’s largest orangutan sanctuary, from closure. Thank you so much if you were among those who helped save the lives of hundreds of orangutans.
Today we must look beyond mere survival. The foundation need your help to secure the long-term future of the sanctuary. Without Nyaru Menteng – run by Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation – the lives of over 650 orangutans are at serious risk.
Your donation can be a major step to secure the future of this remarkable sanctuary that saves orangutans and nurtures them to healthy independence.
- £10 could buy 8 baby bottles to feed the smallest infants
- £25 could provide food, medical care and shelter to one orangutan for a week
- £60 could provide milk for a baby orangutan for 2 months
- £200 could help pay for the rescue and transport of vulnerable orangutans
Please can you make this one of your most significant gifts to help these persecuted and abused creatures? The staff and volunteers at the reserve are working round the clock. No one could ask any more of them. And it will be a great boost for them to know that there are people like you thinking of them and ensuring their work can go on.
You can do a tremendously special thing today. It is rare to be able to play a direct part in helping so many threatened animals whose species is so precariously close to extinction. By giving your support today you’ll become one of the first people worldwide to guarantee these beautiful animals a safe haven.
It only takes a few minutes to make a donation using the form on this page. If you have any difficulties, or would prefer to donate over the phone, please call Supporter Services on 0845 0777 500 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm) to help save the orangutans.
