This is what it's all about!
This powerful footage from 2019 shows three orangutans taking their final steps toward freedom as they return to the protected forests of Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park in West Borneo.
They were released by the Ministry of Forestry after spending years in rehabilitation with our partners, YIARI.
Orangutans in the care of YIARI have often had rescued from the illegal pet trade, fragmented habitat areas, or conflict with humans. Their journey back to the forest is the ultimate goal!
But not every orangutan can be released. For those who can't return to the wild, YIARI’s center becomes a lifelong sanctuary where they receive safety, care, and enrichment.
Every orangutan deserves a life of dignity and freedom.
Join us in making this a reality for every orangutan and drop us a follow for more!
