Symbolic Adoption · Critically Endangered
Adopt an Orangutan
All three orangutan species are Critically Endangered. Palm oil, mining, and the illegal pet trade are erasing them. Your monthly adoption funds the rescue network they need to survive.
In brief
To adopt an orangutan symbolically, give from £5/month through WARN; your adoption funds infant care, forest-school rehabilitation and release monitoring in Borneo and Sumatra.

What Your Adoption Funds
Monthly adoptions are pooled into WARN's Orangutan Rescue Programme and grant out quarterly to in-country sanctuary partners.
Infant Care
Orphaned infants arrive severely malnourished and traumatised. Your adoption funds 24-hour care — fluids, nutrition, veterinary treatment, and a surrogate family group.
Forest School
Juveniles must re-learn skills their mothers would have taught them: climbing, foraging, nest-building. Forest school sessions take years and are essential for any chance of release.
Post-Release Monitoring
After soft-release into protected forest, rangers monitor individuals for months to ensure they are foraging, building nests, and avoiding human settlements.
