Save the Orangutan is a charitable organisation represented in Denmark, Sweden, and the UK. Our regional representatives are independent legal entities that are cooperating closely, and they operate under the common name of Save the Orangutan to fulfill the common purpose of saving and protecting the critically endangered orangutan and its last remaining habitats.

Save the Orangutan primarily operates through closely established partnerships locally in Borneo to effectuate and execute projects within our aim. Moreover, Save the Orangutan works in close cooperation with international partners sharing our mission to gain a stronger mandate and make a bigger difference for the critically endangered orangutan.
