Help orangutans with your used stamps

Did you know that you can help orangutans by collecting used postage stamps and sending them off to the Orangutan Foundation?

About the Orangutan Foundation

The Foundation's mission is "to save orangutans by protecting their tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting research and education."   It has worked in Indonesia for over 20 years so it has a great deal of experience and understanding of the area.

Priority is given to long-term programmes which combine conservation activities with community development.   Many local people live nearby the areas of orangutan habitat so they need to be involved in conservation efforts if they are to be effective in the long term.

According to the Orangutan Foundation's website, its challenges for the future are to

1. Ensure protected areas remain protected
2. Create new conservation areas to protect all critical wild orangutan populations
3. Help mitigate climate change by preventing deforestation
4. Secure long-term funding for valuable orangutan habitat

How to help...

There are a number of ways you can help the Foundation achieve its mission and meet its challenges.

Volunteer, become a member, send a donation, adopt an orangutan, buy something from the gift shop - and send your stamps in!
