Conserve Orangutans in Indonesia
Track orangutans in the wild and fund the conservation of these critically endangered primates
Your donation of $30,000 unlocks your philanthropic experience: witnessing the release of rescued
Orang-utans into a safer forest environment.
This involves flying from Jakarta (or Surabaya) to Pontianak then by smaller plane to Sintang, You are met by the team, taken to Banga Pinoh by car for a night in simple accommodation. Travel together with the team and orang-utans on a very long journey of some 20 hours, part by 4WD jeep, part by boat up river, and where nothing else is accessible, on foot to a camp hut in the forest, your home for the next two nights.
The hut is very basic, but has toilet and kitchen. Simple Indonesian meals are prepared. The next day release the orang-utans into the forest, and the following day embark on the return journey, with another night in Banga Pinoh. We travel the next day to depart from Sintang airport to Pontianak and onwards.
Total 4 nights required for this experience.
You need to be aware that this experience uses off road tracks, is a very bumpy journey, with hard walking. The facilities are incredibly basic. This is only for the hardy.
Here are some suggestions that blend well with this orangutan conservation philanthropic experience:
- Dive in Raja Ampat
- Surf on Sumba
- Relax in Bali
