Orangutan orphans at Orngutan Foundation International's care center in Kalimantan on the island of Borneo. Each baby has a sleeping nest to provide a measure of security and warmth to them. In addition, there is round-the-clock care. Why not adopt an orphan as a special gift? The "adopt" link is at the top, right-hand side of www.orangutan.org
You can also help restore the rainforest through OFI's program to plant trees in previously destroyed forest areas.

One of over 350 orphaned orangutans saved by and being raised at OFI's Care Center

Profits from the sale of my items benefit numerous charities, but primarily I am concerned with saving the orangutans. One does not have to look far to find information on this endangered species, from the November 2008 issue of National Geographic article on Borneo to earlier articles in highly-regarded newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times. The gentle orangutan is the only great ape surviving in the wild outside of the African continent.
Orangutans' rain forest habitat is rapidly disappearing to meet Western demands for palm oil. Enjoy twelve photos of orangutans in the rain forest with this calendar. All of the net profits from this item are donated to save the gentle orangutan

The top soil in the rain forest is actually quite thin, and once the natural vegetation is removed (for logging or in the process of clearing for palm oil plantations), the lush forest becomes a hot, sandy desert - - a cement pit, like the one below.

Why not make a difference in the world every time you are in the grocery store! Check product labels on processed, packaged foods (a lot of junk food) -- cookies, cold cereals, crackers, so-called "health and diet bars," calcium chews marketed for women, candies, and microwave popcorn, -- and buy brands that do not contain palm oil. It is so easy to help!

There are so many little ones being cared for in all age-group sections of the Orangutan Foundation Care Center.

Extinction means something is gone forever. The Great Apes are all threatened, but predictions are that the gentle orangutans may be the first to become extinct unless more action is taken.
