Save OrangutansThe single greatest threat facing orangutans today is the rapidly expanding palm oil trade. Rainforests are being cleared at the rate of 300 football fields per hour to make way for oil palm plantations. While there are millions of hectares of degraded land that could be used for plantations, many oil palm companies choose to instead use rainforest land to gain additional profits by logging the timber first. Palm oil companies also frequently use uncontrolled burning to clear the land, resulting in thousands of orangutans being burned to death. Those that survive have nowhere to live and nothing left to eat and are murdered when they wander onto palm oil plantations and their babies stolen.24 supporters -
International Animal RescueAt International Animal Rescue we do exactly what our name says - we save animals from suffering around the world. We rescue and rehabilitate dancing bears in India, rescue orangutans and other primates from animal traffickers in Indonesia and treat stray dogs and cats around the world. And so much more... Whenever we can, we release rescued animals back into the wild. And when that's not possible, we give them a safe haven for life. We work with other like-minded organisations and government departments to develop sound legislation to protect animals from cruelty and neglect. We also strive to educate the public in the compassionate and humane treatment of all animals. We use sound scientific evidence to inform our decisions and determine the course of our rescue operations. In all that we do we seek to find practical solutions that benefit both animals and people. Please help us spread the word by displaying our badge. Thank you on behalf of the animals.78 supporters -
