Our Projects in 2014

The Orangutan Conservancy (OC) believes that no single project alone can hope to save orangutans from extinction. OC field research projects such as the Orangutan Kutai Project, our annual OC/OVAG Veterinary Workshop, the OC Scholarship Program — and independent rescue and rehabilitation centers in Borneo and Sumatra — are all vital to the conservation of orangutans, and each receives OC support.  Whether funding or offering logistical support, we partner with these projects to achieve the best results possible.
