Orangutan

The orangutan is the world's largest tree-climbing mammal. It has an ape-like shape, shaggy reddish fur and grasping hands and feet. Habitat destruction and fragmentation is by far the greatest threat to orangutans. Huge tracts of forest have been cleared from activities such as legal/illegal logging to land being converted to palm plantations or other farmlands. These activities can cause another serious threat- fires.

Symbolic adoptions are unique and meaningful gifts for any occasions, and for friends and family of all ages. By symbolically adopting a threatened species for yourself or a friend, you can help support WWF-Hong Kong’s conservation efforts to save wildlife at risk and their habitats.
