This year, we’re going to really need your help. (Set up a monthly gift on our website, link in bio!)

Over the past few weeks, you may have seen us asking for support as our partners YIARI tackle fires threatening orangutans and their forest home in Borneo.

And with El Niño conditions expected to make the dry season even more dangerous, the risk is growing.

Mama Qia and her baby, pictured here during an emergency rescue in 2019, show what can happen when fires push orangutans into crisis.

As forests burn, orangutans can be forced from the trees in search of food and safety, leaving them at risk of hunger, injury, conflict and emergency rescue.

A monthly gift helps our partners stay ready. It supports the work needed to monitor hotspots, respond quickly, protect orangutans and stop situations like this before they reach breaking point.

Please set up a monthly gift today and help protect orangutans before it gets this far.

$Traumatized Baby Orangutan Rescued From Tiny Cage #babyanimals #orangutans #animals #animalrescue URGENT RESCUE OF BABY ORANGUTAN FROM HORRIFIC CONDITIONS! Please donate via sticker or link in bio! He was only two years old - a helpless baby orangutan found alone, terrified, and trapped in a tiny cage in an illegal gold mining area in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. His name is Randy. When a joint team from the BKSDA West Kalimantan and our partners YIARI reached him, they found him living in heartbreaking conditions. The miner who kept him had built a crude cage barely big enough for Randy to turn around. He was being fed scraps of banana and bread, his small body weak and undernourished. Beneath his soft fur, our partners discovered signs of an old fracture - a healed break on his leg, proof that Randy had suffered a serious traumatic incident before his rescue. Randy’s story is the tragic result of human activity pushing deeper into orangutan habitat. As forests are destroyed and land is cleared for illegal mining, orangutans lose their homes - and their safety. When a baby is found alone, it almost always means his mother is gone, caught in the crossfire of habitat loss and human conflict. Randy is now at YIARIs rehabilitation center, but this is only the very beginning for him. His recovery will be long, difficult, and incredibly costly. He’s receiving the basic medical care and nutrition he was denied for so long but learning how to be an orangutan again will take years of patient, specialized support. We are urgently trying to raise the funds needed to save Randy and others like him - but we’re nowhere near our goal. Right now, your gift will be DOUBLED until the end of December. Randy has already lost so much. Please don’t let him – or the other orphans like him at the center - lose their chance at freedom too. #animals #orangutans #babyanimals$
