As seen on BBC News: How one orangutan braved new bridge to unite his split community

Watch as our CEO, Helen Buckland, speaks with the BBC about the moment we saw the first orangutan brave the canopy bridges.

Help Build More Lifelines

The response to this milestone has been overwhelming – and we and our conservation partners are so proud to receive such global recognition. It might look like a simple stroll across a bridge, but for this population, it is a literal lifeline. You can help reconnect the canopy and protect wild orangutans.
