  International Animal Rescue’s team is working in West Kalimantan to rescue and care for baby orangutans that have been taken from their mothers to be illegally sold as pets and adults that have spent their entire lives in captivity, chained up or imprison

  The team also comes to the aid of orangutans left stranded when their forest home is destroyed and trans-locates these vulnerable animals to safe areas of protected forest.

  The project is an ambitious one but we are committed to rescuing and rehabilitating as many orangutans as we can and giving them a second chance to live safely in their natural environment.

  The overall aim of our rehabilitation programme is to release as many suitable orangutans as possible into areas where they have become extinct, or where the carrying capacity of the area is so low that the resident orangutans are at risk of extinction
