Orang Utan

In their rainforest home in Sumatra, Indonesia, orang-utans rarely come down from the trees. These largely solitary great apes are critically endangered and their habitat is fast disappearing due to unsustainable palm oil products. Zoos around the world, including ours, are working to fight their extinction by campaigning for palm oil to be labelled on products. You can meet our little family at eye level in their carefully designed sanctuary.
