In Indonesia, forests are being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for palm oil plantations.
Orangutans and countless other species who call the forest home are disappearing along with it.
Orangutans often wander back to what used to be the forest, confused as to where their home has gone. They are usually killed, and the babies sold on the black market to live their life in a cage.
Please, stop the deforestation today.

Orangutans are one of the mst remarkale animals in the planet, sharing 97% of our DNA. hey are Asia's only non-human great ape. They are being driven rapidly towards extinction by many factors, but the main one is deforestation for palm oil plantations. Not only does this take away their habitat, it also makes them vulnerable to any one who wishes to kill mothers and take babies for the pet trade. The people who signed this petition wish to see an end to the decimation of orangutan habitat, to save not only orangutans, but elephants, rhinos, monkeys, gibbons, tigers, etc. Please listen to our voices.
