The Tapanuli orangutan is one of the most intelligent, emotionally complex beings on Earth: they feel joy, fear, love and loss.

And their entire species live in a single rainforest in Sumatra, Indonesia.

But their home could be destroyed – A British company, Jardine Matheson, is set to expand a gold mine that could tear down over 500 hectares of their only home.

Humanity’s hunger for gold could wipe the Tapanuli orangutans from the face of the Earth. It’s slaughter for profit.

But bulldozers haven’t started yet — and if we act fast, they never will. Let’s come together and demand the Indonesian president cancel this reckless expansion. President Prabowo craves popularity, and if we build an unstoppable global outcry, amplified by media coverage, we can force him to act! More than a million of us defended these orangutans before, we can do it again!
