Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered.

Habitat loss and poaching are pushing them towards imminent extinction. Every minute, every day an area equal to six football fields of Indonesian forest disappears!

Lucy Wisdom, Founder of the Sumatran Orangutan Society, died on 19th December 2009 after battling cancer for 15 years. Her endless dedication to orangutan and forest conservation was an inspiration to so many people, and we at SOS are proud to continue the work she started. She will be greatly missed.
