It is World Animal Day on October 4th and we would like to celebrate in a special way this year. We are proud to co-sponsor a baby orangutan at the Sintang Orangutan Centre (SOC).
We do not want orangutans in rescue centres; we want them in forests. However, whilst forests are being cut down and animals, especially babies, are being taken by ruthless traders, rescue centres are essential.
Orangutans, the great apes of Asia, are critically endangered. The Sintang Orangutan Centre (SOC) has been doing wonderful work for more than 14 years. By providing a rescue and release programme, as well as a ‘forest school’ programme, the rescued orangutans at SOC have a chance at being successfully released back to their forest home.
This year we are very happy to work with a German volunteer group, Lebensraum Regenwald, to co-sponsor a specific orangutan at SOC. We believe the sponsorship will not only help “Rosi”, our sponsored baby orangutan, but also encourage others to support the work of the Centre. There are many other orangutans at SOC that could be sponsored. Please do consider helping SOC in any way possible and let us know if you are interested in supporting the centre or sponsoring an orangutan.
We have provided more information below about the sponsorship of lovely baby ‘Rosi’.
Please do whatever you can to help animals in need this World Animal Day (and any other day too, if possible).
Thank you very much for the generous donor, Dr Krieger, who has enabled Masarang HK to co-sponsor baby Rosi. We sincerely appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Thank you.
Masarang HK Volunteers
