The Best of The World Wide Web

Orangutan rehabilitation programs are high-priced to run and require dedicated personnel. Many orangutan rehabilitation centers are in dire need of additional funding for their operations.

Therefore, in an effort to raise funds for the operation of their orangutan rehabilitation program, the Sarawak Forestry formulated an opportunity for the public to adopt their orangutans. Known as the Orangutan Adoption Programme, it aims to raise funds for orangutan conservation and rehabilitation, extend ownership of the programme to other citizens of the world and disseminate information on orangutan conservation efforts done in Sarawak.

The funds collected through the program are used to support conservation work including projects on orangutan conservation and educational programmes to promote awareness on orangutan conservation, as well as the obtain of food and medication.

The public can be part of this noble effort by adopting an orangutan, while corporate organizations can view this as part of their corporate social responsibility efforts. Adopters will receive an exclusive adoption certificate and quarterly updates on the orangutans in Semenggoh and Matang Wildlife Centres via the Sarawak Forestry website.

The adoption packages are as follows:

1.Individual Adopter

That the Orangutan is an animal of the human form, inside as well as outside: That he has the human intelligence, as much as can be expected in an animal living without civility or arts: That he has a disposition of mind, mild, submissive, and humane: That he has the sentiments and affections peculiar to our species, such as the sense of modesty, of honour, and of justice; and likewise an attachment of love and friendship to one individual, so strong in some instances, that the one friend will not survive the other. – Lord Monboddo, 1774 (1)

Nothing can describe the feeling you get when you are up close with an orangutan. With their huge eyes, vulnerable look, beautiful reddish hair, intelligent mind, humanlike characteristics and inquisitive nature, what is there not to like? Humans and orangutans are amazingly similar; in fact, we share an approximately 97% of the same genetic makeup, which is why it is hard to imagine that there are people out there who are willing to kill them for profit — orangutan mothers are intentionally killed before their babies are snatched away to be sold as pets.

The Heart2Heart with Orangutan and Adoption programmes will definitely award its participants a renewed sense of purpose and fulfilment. No matter how small or insignificant our contributions are for the rehabilitation and preservation of the orangutans, I’d like to believe that our tiny efforts will bring in big benefits in the larger scheme of things.

I can’t imagine a world without orangutans, can you?
