BBC wildlife presenter and WSPA supporter, Michaela Strachan said: “I was shocked by how desperate the situation for orangutans has become in Borneo, with more and more orangutans arriving everyday. The sanctuary is desperately short of money, closure will now become a reality unless we step in and help – right now.”
The sanctuary rescues young orangutans that have been orphaned because of Indonesia's growing palm oil industry, which has meant their forest home is now being burnt to the ground to make way for oil-palm plantations.
