Help critically endangered orangutans to survive by sponsoring the reforestation of Kalimantan’s Tanjung Puting National Park and Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve. These parks, on the island of Borneo, are home to some of the last remaining protected sites where orangutans can live safely.

A US$50 donation will help plant 10 trees, while US$1,750 will help reforest an entire hectare. Your donation covers the cost of growing the saplings, planting and maintenance for three years – by which time the trees will be tall and strong enough to survive without regular monitoring. We will provide you with the Google coordinates of your site and send you updates on planting activities and tree survival rates.

Vast areas of forest in these two parks have disappeared because of farming, logging, mining and fires. It’s estimated about 65% of Tanjung Puting and half of Lamandau is severely degraded or cleared of forest.

We plant between 400 and 2,000 saplings per hectare, each grown from seeds, seedlings and cuttings from the forest. After three years, our saplings have a 70% survival rate. We usually plant next to existing forest areas to create tree corridors, which allow orangutans and other wildlife to travel around safely and with access to food.

FNPF has been working to restore the forests of Kalimantan for more than 20 years. In the last 15 years alone, we’ve replanted over 415 hectares – an area equivalent to nearly 1.6  million tennis courts. But there are many more sites that still need replanting.
