Orang Utan Republik Foundation, Inc.

The founders of OUREI and OURF have studied, conserved, and advocated for orangutans for over 47 years. They have always believed that saving orangutans means saving their forest home, the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra and that only the people of Indonesia and Malaysia can ensure their protection. Working under the ethos "Free to be Wild," OURF envisions a time when the people of Indonesia accept that orangutans and all other species that inhabit their rainforests have a right to live and that their forests can be shared and utilized sustainably for the benefit of both animals and people. The problems facing orangutans are immense. All three species of orangutans are critically endangered. However, OURF and its partners believe that educating local people about their plight, teaching them about the importance of their tropical rainforests, and supporting sustainable development initiatives can enable the orangutan and the great forests of Indonesia and Malaysia to survive.
