## Why Rainforest Habitat Protection Matters
Lowland rainforest loss in Borneo, Sumatra and the Amazon displaces orangutans, tigers, jaguars and thousands of co-occurring species. Rescue alone cannot outpace deforestation — protecting corridors reduces the rescue caseload upstream.

## Borneo Orangutan Corridors
Palm oil concessions fragment orangutan habitat in Kalimantan and Sabah. Partner grants fund corridor protection, community stewardship and anti-encroachment patrols linking forest fragments — complementing orangutan rescue at /appeals/orangutans.

## Amazon and Pantanal Jaguar Habitat
Brazil and Colombia hold the largest jaguar populations in the Americas. Fire seasons, mining and deforestation destroy wetland and forest habitat. Habitat grants through /appeals/habitats and /appeals/jaguars fund partner-led protection.

## How to Donate to Habitat Protection
Give at /appeals/habitats one-off or monthly. Habitat gifts complement species-specific appeals — protecting forest benefits orangutans, tigers, pangolins and jaguars simultaneously.

## Community Stewardship Model
Lasting habitat protection requires local community buy-in. Partner programmes employ community rangers, support alternative livelihoods and reduce encroachment pressure — not fortress conservation alone.

## UK Donor Route
Donate in GBP with full receipts. Not Gift Aid eligible. See /countries/indonesia, /countries/brazil and /countries/colombia for country programme context.

## Orangutan and Jaguar Corridors
Lowland rainforest in Borneo and the Amazon/Pantanal supports orangutans, jaguars and hundreds of co-occurring species. WARN habitat grants through /appeals/habitats fund corridor protection, anti-deforestation patrols and community stewardship in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil and Colombia.

## What WARN funds
- Forest corridor protection in Borneo for orangutans and co-occurring species.
- Anti-deforestation and anti-encroachment patrol support.
- Community stewardship and ranger employment in habitat buffer zones.
- Jaguar habitat protection in Brazil and Colombia.

## FAQ
### How do I donate to rainforest habitat protection?
Donate at /appeals/habitats — one-off or monthly via /donate/monthly.

### Does habitat donation help orangutans?
Yes — Borneo corridor protection reduces displacement that drives orangutan rescue need. See /appeals/orangutans.

### Does habitat donation help jaguars?
Yes — Amazon and Pantanal protection in Brazil and Colombia supports jaguar corridors. See /appeals/jaguars.

### Which countries does WARN fund for habitat?
Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil and Colombia within the 17-country network.

### Does WARN buy rainforest land?
Partner programmes use varied tools — corridors, stewardship agreements, patrol support — depending on local context. WARN grants rather than directly purchasing land.

### Can habitat and species donations combine?
Yes — many donors give to /appeals/habitats and a species appeal together.

### How fast is Borneo losing forest?
Indonesia contributes an estimated 270,000 hectares of primary forest loss annually — among the highest globally.

### Is habitat donation Gift Aid eligible?
No. WARN is a registered global not-for-profit and cannot claim Gift Aid

### Does habitat donation help multiple species?
Yes — protecting forest corridors benefits orangutans, tigers, pangolins, jaguars and countless species sharing the same habitat.
