Help save confiscated or injured Sumatran wildlife

"I can't skype now, I'm trying to catch an escaped gibbon!" 

There are very few workplaces in the world where this would be considered a reasonable excuse not to talk to someone, and yet those very words passed my lips not two weeks ago as Tom, an 8 month old Lar Gibbon discovered he could reach the latch on his enclosure door. Since commencing operations 18 months ago the SRI Wildlife Rescue Unit has rescued a grand total of 13 gibbons from the hands of poachers, transforming our quiet little office into a noisy halfway house for some of the jungles cutest occupants in the process.

SRI is also immensely proud to announce that after extensive rehabilitation by our team, this September the WRU was able to release 3 gibbons back into the wild, in what will hopefully become a regular event.

Gibbons aside, the SRI Wildlife Transit Center has also played host to a veritable menagerie of short stay guests, with leopard cats, crested eagle hawks, and even a crocodile calling the Wildlife Transit Center home until they were fit for release back into the wild.

Here at SRI we are acutely aware that none of this would have been possible without your donations,

but with baby gibbons fetching upwards of $300 US on the black market, the incentive to poach remains strong, and we need your help once more to ensure that every animal gets the second chance it deserves. Just 10 dollars buys Tom and his adopted family another day in rehabilitation, which is one day closer to release, and one day further from being surrendered to a zoo with no chance of rehabilitation, so please give generously.
