Enrichment Boxes for Orangutans

The Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Project work tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate wild orangutans that have become tangled up in the human world. Many of them have been pets, and all of them have been separated from their forest homes. The process of getting these animals back to the wild is a difficult one, and equipping them with the skills needed to survive in the forest is vital to give them a good chance of survival.

The SOCP temporarily house the orangutans in a specialist centre prior to release. Whilst here they spend important time with other orangutans, learning important social skills with other youngsters of a similar age. The centre is currently raising funds for some new enrichment boxes. These provide the orangutans with fun ways to learn new skills and encourage problem solving to access their food, something which will be vital back on the forest.
