Richard Zimmerman founded Orangutan Outreach in 2007. The
organization’s goals are to bring attention to the crisis facing
orangutans in the wild due to deforestation and the expansion of
palm oil plantations into previously undisturbed areas of forest,
and to raise funds for orangutan conservation projects in Borneo
and Sumatra.
Orangutan Outreach collaborates with many partners including
the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF), International
Animal rescue (IAR), the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme
(SOCP), the Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) and the Orangutan
Information Centre (OIC). Orangutan Outreach has been able to
successfully build a global grassroots network and help foster
awareness of the plight of orangutans among people from every walk
of life. This awareness has led to a steady growth in charitable
donations and virtual orangutan adoptions. By offering people
everywhere the chance to get involved and do their part to help
protect orangutans, Orangutan Outreach has brought renewed hope
that together we can save the red apes.
