## What Orangutan Sponsorship Through WARN Means
Orangutan sponsorship is recurring support pooled into partner grants for sedation rescue, milk formula, forest-school training and soft release — not co-sponsorship of a named ape you visit or keep as a pet.

## How to Start Orangutan Sponsorship from the UK
Visit /adopt/orangutan, choose monthly or one-off from £5/month, pay in GBP, receive email receipt. Monthly at /donate/monthly with orangutan allocation works equally.

## What Your Orangutan Sponsorship Pays For
Sponsorship income funds rescue transport, veterinary supplies, keeper training, forest-school platforms and release monitoring in Borneo — multi-year orphan care that monthly income helps sustain.

## Bornean Orangutan Programmes
Indonesia (Kalimantan) and Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) hold remaining wild Bornean orangutans. WARN grants to established rehabilitation partners. See /rescue/orangutan-rescue-borneo and /appeals/orangutans.

## Sponsorship Versus Pet Trade Misconceptions
Orangutans are wild apes in multi-year rehabilitation — not pets. Ethical programmes minimise human contact to enable release. Sponsorship funds the whole programme, not individual ape marketing.

## Monthly Versus One-Off Orangutan Sponsorship
Monthly from £5 at /adopt/orangutan helps partners commit to five-to-eight-year forest-school pathways. One-off gifts at /appeals/orangutans suit urgent orphan intakes.

## Gift Orangutan Sponsorship for UK Occasions
Checkout at /adopt/orangutan, email WARN for a certificate. See /rescue/charity-gift-for-animal-lover — honest programme framing.

## Gift Aid and WARN Registration
WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. Orangutan sponsorship is not Gift Aid eligible. Compare /rescue/adopt-an-orangutan-uk.

## What WARN funds
- Sedation rescue and transport for displaced orangutans.
- Forest-school milk, veterinary supplies and keeper training.
