Hi, my name is Jenny Fritzsche. For the past three years I have been working as a volunteer in an Orangutan Care and Rescue Centre at Ketapang, West Kalimantan, Borneo Indonesia. This work has highlighted to me how critically endangered the Orangutans really are at this time. This is the tipping point for the orangutans’ survival; it’s now or never if we want to see them in the wild in the future.
On the Gold Coast, I have placed donation boxes placed in businesses up and down the coast and in the past 9 months we have raised close to $5,000 in donations …. Not bad considering this is from people’s spare change!
The purpose of raising the money assists towards the care and rehabilitation centres, protection and monitoring of current orangutan release sites and also to purchase and gain leases of land as it becomes available.
If you are interested in have a donation box at your place of business, or are interested in becoming a local donation box coordinator, please email Marion at marion.wall@orangutan.org.au
