Would you like to adopt an orangutan or a bird of prey? We can offer you this opportunity!
Orangutan sponsorship
With the sponsorship you support the survival of the Sumatran orangutans and the preservation of their habitat. Every single orangutan released back into the rainforest gives us hope in the fight against the extinction of these great apes. Meet Lewis, an orangutan you can support through sponsorship.
Our godparent animal
Lewis
Lewis is an 25-year-old male orangutan who is fully blind. He was found in the fields of farmers where he was desperately searching for food. To drive Lewis away, the farmers shot at him with air rifles. The bullets seriously injured him and he lost his eyesight as a result. Unfortunately, Lewis will not be able to be released back into the wild. He now lives on a green island in the Orangutan Haven.
