Adoption testimonials
I love orangutans and wanted to adopt since we went to Sepilok!
I can do some good for an incredible organisation. It acts as a reminder for a most wonderful life-changing visit I had.
I truly appreciate the work you do for those fantastic animals and am delighted to be able to support this with an adoption.
If I can help with small contributions throughout the year then it makes me feel as if I am helping the orangutans.
I like that I’m helping the orangutan rehabilitation and I love the newsletters with pictures and updates on my adopted orangutan.
I am besotted with Archie and all the orangutans at Sepilok. Your work is so important.
