Visiting orangutans in Borneo is an experience you will simply never forget. These incredible apes are currently considered critically endangered on the IUCN Red List, and if you choose to head over to Borneo as an orangutan volunteer you will make a difference to the lives of one of our closest relatives.
Borneo as a stand-alone destination is incredible, with its rich jungles and unique history, including the once feared Iban headhunting tribe, along with its arboreal residents. On top of that, the island is teeming with kaleidoscopic biodiversity that is waiting to be discovered but also needs protecting. By taking part in one of our projects, you will play a vital role in improving the lives of orangutans in sanctuaries through to preparing them for release back into the wild.
Visiting the orangutans in this incredible country is something that you would never forget, so what are you waiting for? Check out our amazing volunteering projects today and help change the lives of the orangutans!
