Take Action- Orangutans Need YOU!
"What you do makes a difference, but you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."- Jane Goodall
Quick Ways To Help Orangutans
- Write
to your local legislators and The President. Ask them not to explore
palm oil as a biofuel option. Cutting down rainforests to grow palm oil
is not a "green" substitute for gasoline.
- Write
to Indonesian and Malaysian government officials. Ask them to preserve
their precious natural resources. They're the only countries in the
world that have wild orangutans!
- Write your favorite companies that use palm oil and ask them to use sustainable sources when producing their products.
- Sign Petitions that promote the lives of orangutans and their rainforest home.
Donate, Adopt, Purchase & Volunteer!
- Donating is one of the most beneficial things you can do to help save orangutans. Your donation could help save a life!
- Adopting
an orangutan though an organization is wonderful! You get fabulous photos, learn
their amazing stories, and even get updates on how the orangutan you
adopted is doing.
- Purchasing stuff from an orangutan organization is fantastic! You get awesome stuff, all while helping save the species!
- Volunteering
is very helpful, and a great learning opportunity. If you're
interested in volunteering, contact your favorite
orangutan organization.
- Fundraising
is fun and it's a great way to get the message out about the problems
facing orangutans.
Avoid Palm Oil
Palm oil is in over 50% of all products in America...
From
cookies, peanut butter, make-up, shampoos, box goods, candy, and a lot
more. The way it is being produced is unsustainable, and causing
orangutans (as well as a lot of other species) to go into extinction.
