High in Sumatra's ancient rainforest canopy, an orangutan mother carefully creates a "living bridge" with her own body, helping her baby cross safely between trees. It's just one of countless acts of devotion she'll perform during the 9 years she dedicates to raising her young.
These irreplaceable moments are happening right now in the standing forests we protect – but only where pristine rainforest remains intact.
This Wednesday, July 16th, you can double your impact for these devoted mothers and their babies.
Through GlobalGiving's July Bonus Day, your gift of $100 or more will be matched. The more you give (up to $1,000 or your currency equivalent), the more matching funds we unlock to protect the critical rainforest habitat where orangutan families thrive.
Your donation helps us:
The orangutan mothers of Sumatra never give up on their babies. With your help this Wednesday, we won't give up on them either.
Matching starts at 10 a.m. EDT (3 p.m. BST) on Wednesday, July 16th, and lasts for 24 hours.
The impact of your donation will be even greater this Wednesday, so please consider donating this July Bonus Day.
