Sumatran Orangutan Society

Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS) works to protect orangutans, their forests and their future. In partnership with grassroots NGOs and forest-edge communities we are working to enable wild orangutans to thrive in resilient rainforests.

A thriving future for orangutans

A thriving future for orangutans
There are just 14,000 Sumatran orangutans and fewer than 800 Tapanuli orangutans remaining in the wild. Our ambition is to enable orangutan populations to truly thrive, in well-connected and resilient forest landscapes.

Rewilding the rainforest

Rewilding the rainforest
Sumatra’s rural communities are the custodians of the forests and wildlife, and are at the heart of our work. You can help to support these communities to restore 10,000 hectares of the orangutans’ precious forest habitat.

Protecting rainforest landscapes

Protecting rainforest landscapes
Working alongside our frontline partners, local authorities and forest-edge communities, by 2030 we aim to contribute to the protection of 1.8 million hectares of critical orangutan habitat.
