SAVE THE DATE! 22 - 29 APRIL 2025

One donation, double the difference.

Many Indonesians are unaware of the importance of forests and their role in mitigating climate change. Many have never stepped foot in the rainforest on their doorstep.

Orangutans - the forest ape - are a key species for their critical rainforest habitat. Through the orangutan, we can raise awareness of conservation and climate change amongst Indonesia’s youth, empowering them to take positive climate action for their future.

We are raising funds to deliver an educational programme in Indonesian schools on climate and conservation, including:

  •     A series of workshops and talks

  • Direct experiences in nature

  • The distribution of educational resources

  • Student research projects

  • Creative activities

To take part and have your donation DOUBLED, donate via our campaign page at BigGive.org.uk between 22 – 29 April 2025.
