Gorgeous Aman decided it was time for a quick break during Jungle School, and who can blame him? Learning how to climb, swing, and forage is big work for a young orangutan!

As one of Popi’s carers, Jevri still remembers the first day he met her. A tiny, frightened orangutan, clinging tightly to her babysitters. Over time, he watched her learn to trust, climb, and live wild again. BORA is a collaboration with our COP partners, and the Ministry of Forestry 🌳

Milo was found stranded, shot, and barely clinging to life. No orangutan should ever suffer like this. Your support is the difference between life and death for an innocent orangutan like Milo. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3X1QQWI
