Indonesia Is Burning — Help Save the Orangutans!

Over the past eight weeks alone, our dedicated partners on the ground, YIARI (International Animal Rescue Indonesia), have rescued more than 53 orangutans from the devastating consequences of the fires, habitat destruction, and increasing human-wildlife conflict.

Among those rescued are Mama Noni and her baby Noni, two precious lives that remind us exactly why we cannot give up.

But the situation is becoming increasingly desperate.

Rescue teams are working around the clock, fighting fires, monitoring threatened forests, evacuating orangutans, and providing emergency care. The rescue centre in West Borneo is already under enormous pressure, struggling to accommodate the growing number of animals in need.

Under normal circumstances, rescued adult orangutans could be relocated and released into safer areas of forest. But with fires continuing to rage across West Borneo, even returning them to the wild is currently impossible in many cases.

Imagine surviving the flames, only to discover that there is no safe home left to return to.

This is heartbreaking. And we cannot simply stand by and watch.

At Wild at Life, we have joined forces with our trusted partners at YIARI to support their extraordinary efforts and bring desperately needed help from our side. Together, we want to give these innocent animals a fighting chance — by supporting emergency rescues, rehabilitation, ongoing care, and the protection of their remaining forest homes.

These animals have already endured unimaginable suffering. Every orangutan rescued is a life worth fighting for. Every mother reunited with safety, every baby given a chance to grow up, and every life protected matters.
