Since 2011, Orangutan Odysseys has been driven by a deep compassion for orangutans and a resolute vision to safeguard their precious habitats, wherever they may roam. The challenges we face in this mission are immense, a true David and Goliath struggle against the relentless tide of deforestation driven by powerful palm oil corporations. Their destructive practices, including the devastating slash and burn clearing of forests and the acquisition of vast land concessions, both legal and illegal, inflict untold suffering on the environment.

Our work at Orangutan Odysseys is fueled by a profound empathy for these magnificent creatures. We stand shoulder to shoulder with dedicated local conservation groups on the ground, providing direct protection to the vulnerable wildlife threatened by habitat loss. Over the past year, we have fostered collaborations with passionate scientists, committed conservationists, and insightful researchers, connecting their vital work with a compassionate public eager to make a difference. Esteemed individuals like orangutan expert Leif Cocks, Founder of TOP, is our friend and hosts our specialised fundraising tours, sharing his intimate knowledge of the orangutan world with our travelers and helping us raise crucial funds.

In our first full year of operation, the generosity of our supporters enabled Orangutan Odysseys to contribute over $100,000 to these critical conservation efforts. Furthermore, our establishment of hundreds of orangutan adoptions through The Orangutan Project (TOP) provides not only immediate assistance but also fosters enduring connections as individuals often choose to re-adopt their beloved orangutans.

Now, in 2025, our hearts are filled with gratitude as we announce that our dedicated tours have collectively raised well over AUD$1,000,000 for orangutan conservation projects. This milestone is a testament to the unwavering compassion of our travelers and partners.

While the tide of destruction has not yet been fully turned, we have diligently cultivated meaningful relationships that serve as a vital bridge of understanding and support between the orangutan and the wider world.

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we will continue our heartfelt mission through impactful fundraising trips and vital education programs delivered through tourism and social media engagement. We remain committed to crafting enriching and inspiring tours and adventures that resonate with the compassion of our guests and further empower our dedicated NGO partners.

With your continued kindness and support, we can collectively amplify our efforts to Save the Environment through Tourism, driven by a shared love for these extraordinary beings and their threatened world.
