Monkey VA supports environmental non-profit organizations with our Monkeys Worth Mentioning program. This month, we are recognizing SOCP. Learn about their mission below!
The Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme works on all aspects of Sumatran orangutan conservation.
This includes:
- Rescue, quarantine and reintroduction of illegal pet orangutans to form new, genetically viable and self-sustaining wild populations;
- Surveys and monitoring of wild and reintroduced populations;
- Research on conservation and behavioural ecology of wild orangutans;
- Habitat conservation;
- Conservation education and awareness raising.
