ORANGUTAN FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL

Save the Orangutans 5K Run For Survival Lake Balboa, Encino,  California

Orangutan Foundation International Page

Help make a difference in the world and be a part of fundraising to save the endangered orangutans, now featured in the IMAX movie "Born To Be Wild", filmed at the OFI Care Center and narrated by Morgan Freeman.

There are hundreds of orphans like the one I photographed here on one of my trips to the Care Center.  This baby is grabbing her hair the way she was holding on to her mother when her mother was killed. OFI has saved thousands of orangutans over the decades since Dr. Birute Galdikas first appeared on the cover of National Geographic in October 1975 for her groundbreaking work. OFI is busy planting native trees for a reforestation project in areas where the rain forest has been destroyed and is raising money for the Rawa Kuno Legacy Forest. (You can pick a plot of rainforest land to be saved from being razed!)

YOU can make a difference! Think of it this way:

   Buy one less magazine, give up a  caloric frappe  coffee (milkshake in disguise), or any number of small acts -- and donate that amount right now to help this endangered species, the gentle and intelligent orangutan.  In addition, consider becoming a member of Orangutan Foundation International and/or sponsoring one of the orangutans under their care.   For more information please go to the official OFI website at www.orangutan.org   (Note the ORG if you're typing it in by hand at a later time.)

 

For anyone who will be in the Los Angeles area in the fall, we hope to see you at OFI's annual fun run to save the orangutans! 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who wants to support OFI.  Remember, within the USA, you can also text APE to 20222 for an easy $10.00 donation at any time!  Thank you to Krista Orangutan for her assistance in this fundraising drive!  No donation is too small!  The recent popularity of texting $5.00 and $10.00 donations to other relief efforts proves the truth of this statement.

Please...  help make a difference in the world!

Why not give orangutan "adoptions" as special gifts on any occasion!  See the available orphans at www.orangutan.org
