With 90% of their natural habitat gone, orangutans now face a terrifying future. Starving and forced into daily contact with humans, they are often subject to machete attacks which leave the adult apes dead and their orphaned babies traumatised and injured. Sadder still, these orphans are then subjected to the cruelty of being sold into the illegal pet trade.

That's why this year for WSPA World Animal Week (4-10 October) we'd like everyone to join us and GO BANANAS for ORANGUTANS: an event to raise money for the Nyaru Menteng Sanctuary in Indonesia, home to over 650 of these injured and orphaned orangutans.

GO BANANAS for ORANGUTANS gives you the chance to show your support for these beautiful creatures - and help keep them safe - by going a little bananas yourself.

You could bake some banana muffins, sell them and donate the profits. Or maybe get sponsored to see how many times you can get people in your office to say the word "banana" in 24 hours. Feeling more adventurous? Then perhaps take part in a sponsored skydive or bungee jump. Or if you're feeling particularly bananas, you might even dress up as an orangutan for the day - or better still sponsor someone else to do it! It's totally up to you. All donations will help to care for the welfare of animals around the world, including the rescue, care, rehabilitation and eventual release of orphaned orangutans at the Sanctuary.
