The Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project works to protect one of the most important areas of tropical rainforest in Borneo - the Sabangau Forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. We monitor the distribution, population status, behaviour and ecology of the forest's flagship ape species, carry out biodiversity and forestry research, and work with local partners to implement conservation solutions.

Responsible Tourism - do not encourage the pet trade

Picture
Each year hundreds of thousands of us visit primate habitat countries. We are often faced with the option to have our photo taken with a primate or we see primates in shows. This is abuse, is illegal in all countries and needs to be stopped. Please click here to download the OuTrop guide to responsible tourism and have fun on holiday.
