CONNECT - We work to create "corridors" between fragmented areas of rainforest so that groups of orangutans are not isolated from each other. REWILD - We work to help degraded rainforest landscapes to recover by healing the land and planting a diverse range of trees and other fauna, creating even more space for orangutans to thrive.
