SOCP and Great Apes Giving Day

A critically endangered Sumatran orangutan infant (Pongo abelii) who was rescued from illegal pet traders after his mother was killed, is now safe in the arms of its keeper at the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program's Care Center in Medan, where he needs to live until he is old enough to be released safely back into the wild, Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia

For the second year in a row the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) is participating in Great Apes Giving Day, an initiative from our friends with the Arcus Foundation – Great Ape Conservation and Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS)!

This year’s GAGD falls on October 17, 2017, from 12:00 AM EST to 11:59 PM EST.

More more than 30 qualified sanctuaries and rescue centres providing rehabilitation or long-term care for apes throughout Africa, Asia, and North America, in addition to receiving private donations from supporters, are this year also eligible to win up to an additional $50,000 in awards sponsored by American Anti-Vivisection Society, @Maria Norbury Foundation, and Arcus Foundation – Great Ape Conservation!
