Orangutan protection
The habitat of the orangutans is increasingly being deforested and fragmented. Often the remaining areas of rainforest are no longer large enough for the animals to survive. Hungry orangutans that find themselves near plantations and gardens are tempted to look for food in them. This of course, can lead to conflicts with humans.

Rainforest protection, PanEco
PanEco offers up to four places for community service volunteers in its programmes in Indonesia. To qualify for an assignment, the volunteers must have a suitable professional profile and some experience, and they must be available for several months. At the same time, our team in Indonesia must also be able to offer a meaningful job. Sometimes everything comes together just right, as in the case of Kevin Knecht, who tells us about his four-month assignment in Medan, North Sumatra.

Orangutan protection, PanEco, Rainforest protection
We are about to officially launch a new project that is unique in the world: Our Orangutan Haven will be the new home for orangutans that can no longer be released into the wild due to various impairments. The Haven is also an environmental education centre on the topics of rainforest, orangutans and illegal wildlife trade. The first orangutans are now being relocated from the quarantine and rehabilitation centre on Sumatra to a number of islands in Orangutan Haven.
