Supporting Orangutan Conservation after Disaster

A devastating landslide has caused severe damage to the SOCP Orangutan Quarantine and Rehabilitation Center in North Sumatra, a vital facility for rescuing and rehabilitating displaced orangutans. While all staff and orangutans are safe, critical repairs are urgently needed to damaged enclosures and access roads to ensure the center can continue its lifesaving work.
