Sumatran Orangutan Society -

Their projects in Sumatra operate through the Orangutan Information Centre (SOS-OIC). They founded this organization in 2001 in collaboration with a group of dedicated Indonesian conservationists to raise awareness of environmental and orangutan conservation issues amongst local communities living in North Sumatra and Aceh.

As they say on their website: Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered.

Habitat loss and poaching are pushing them towards imminent extinction. Every minute, every day an area equal to six football fields of Indonesian forest disappears!  I think you can agree that this is disgraceful and unacceptable.

Read SOS (Sumatran Orangutan Society) information on palm oil: http://www.orangutans-sos.org/orangutans/crisis and outline their campaign here: http://www.orangutans-sos.org/campaigns/palm_oil_and_biofuels

They have some great ideas on how to help here: http://www.orangutans-sos.org/help and here: http://www.orangutans-sos.org/help/other

You can also get involved in writing to Supermarkets and Manufacturers to ask them to source sustainable palm oil, instead of using the unsustainable supplies produced in Borneo and Sumatra – it is killing the Orangutans for our greed and materialism – see my campaign by CLICKING HERE
