Orangutan Foundation Volunteer Programme 2016 - Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Indonesian Borneo

The Orangutan Foundation is the foremost orangutan conservation organisation. We are saving the endangered orangutan by protecting its tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting research and education.

Now in its 16th year, our volunteer programme is like no other - not only will you experience essential hands-on conservation work but you will also see the endangered 
orangutan in its natural habitat.

Date: 25th July - 30th August  (arrival and departure dates in/out of Pangkalan Bun)

Location: Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo

Project: A community-based project to help build a new guard post adjacent to the newly established 8,000 hectare extension of the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve! This guard post, based on the river that borders the reserve, is crucial to preventing illegal activities such as illegal logging. Lamandau is one of the few sites in Indonesia where rescued orangutans can be safely released back into the wild, and our volunteers will be some of the first to explore this area of the reserve and discover the wildlife within it. This project will be a unique opportunity to take part in conservation work while living in orangutan habitat!

Includes a three day boat tour of Tanjung Puting National Park (guaranteed sightings of wild    orangutans) and a trip to the famed Camp Leakey. There will also be an exclusive opportunity to visit nearby orangutan feeding sites at our release camps in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve.

Cost: £985 - includes all construction materials, meals, accommodation and local transport from the 25th to departure on the 30th. Excludes international flights. Places are limited.

Note: There is no hands-on contact with orangutans.

Deadline: 31/05/2016
