Why We Want to Support Sumatran Orangutan Society

Orangutans are in trouble. Half of Sumatra's forests have been destroyed in just 20 years. The main culprit? Palm oil plantations. These plantations are replacing vast areas of rainforest (and wildlife habitat) with rows of oil palm trees. Palm oil, called a variety of terms on ingredient labels, is found in a wide range of products, from toothpaste and laundry detergent to chocolate bars. No rainforests = no wildlife habitat. Deforestation isn't just bad for animals. Is also has negative consequences for the people who live there. The decimation of this ecosystem contributes to climate change and exposes locals to environmental disasters, such as flooding and landslides.

The Sumatran Orangutan Society supports a wide variety of projects to secure a future for Sumatra's orangutans, forests and people. Their main goals are to:

Rescue orangutans in danger from habitat loss and the illegal pet trade
Protect and restore the orangutans' rainforest home
Regrow forest trees
Work with local farmers to conserve Sumatra's wildlife and wild landscapes.

Do Your Kids Love Orangutans?

If you'd like to learn more about orangutans, SOS some excellent resources. They have developed a SOS Schools Pack, which was created to support educators working with students ages 5-11 who want to teach their students about rainforests, orangutans, endangered species and conservation.

Make a difference! Learn about Orangutans and Palm oil. SOS conducted a campaign called "Clear Labels, Not Forests" to raise awareness about the sneaky names that quietly referred to palm oil on ingredient labels. Run your own campaign! Teach people about the alternative names for Palm Oil and suggest alternatives. Share your tips with us on our Facebook page, with other kids and with families in your community. Become an Orangutan Ambassador and tell everyone you meet about how simple it is to boycott items that contain palm oil. If people stop buying it, maybe rainforest destruction will slow down.
