Orangutans need resilient, connected rainforest landscapes so they can travel through the canopy and find a mate and stay safe from the pacing tigers below.

Show some love and donate £10 a month to protect, connect and rewild the Sumatran rainforests: https://t.co/dgaqcZEtMD

We have championed forest-edge communities and engaged over 7,000 people in conservation action so far.

We put the people who live in and around Sumatra’s forests at the heart of our work.

Every win for one orangutan, one hectare of forest, one forest-edge farmer matters to us.

Doug Ford wants to shift more of York Region’s sewage to Lake Ontario — a decision made the same day as Bill 23 that may break an international Great Lakes agreement AND forever destroy the health of 2 lakes that give us drinking water.

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay, and the theme is #OnlyOneEarth

We are privileged to work with people who dedicate their lives to Sumatra's rainforests and #orangutans.

Can you help them protect our one precious planet? https://t.co/Q3mjkW6X6v
