We wish we NEVER MET Budi, and we wish YOU never know he existed. But why?

Orangutan rescues should never have to happen. There should never be a situation where an orangutan is forced to live outside of their natural home. However, there is some uplifting news: the BKSDA, working with our incredible partners YIARI have been addressing the root of the issue over the past decade!

Back in 2014, when Budi was saved, there were 24 other orangutan rescues. But just last year, that number dropped to a mere 3. How did they achieve something so remarkable?

The lack of awareness about orangutan conservation in isolated communities was a major factor in Budi's year of suffering. YIARI stepped in with education and outreach programs, educating these communities about the importance of preserving orangutans in their natural rainforest habitat.

Through these efforts and other holistic initiatives, the necessity for rescuing orangutans from life as a pet has drastically reduced. And now, during this Giving Day for Apes, you can play an integral role in sustaining this INCREDIBLE outreach work! DONATE VIA THE LINK IN BIO!

Giving Day for Apes is a global competition among ape sanctuaries that takes place annually. This year, we're shining a spotlight on every part of YIARI's orangutan conservation project while raising crucial funds. 🌏
