The Wildlife Ambulance is saving elephants, one rescue at a time. Catch up on the latest via Earth.Org 🐘 🚑 →

Wildlife Ambulance Is Training the Next Generation of Veterinarians The Wildlife Ambulance operates across some of Sumatra’s most remote terrain, reaching elephants that would otherwise not survive.

Did you know rescued orangutans can't simply be set free anywhere? They need a large, healthy forest – one with the right food trees, enough space, and the protection that gives them the best chance of survival.

And we have found that exact place. A place where rescued orangutans like Jack can live the wild life they were born to have. This place is in the Busang-Wehea Ecosystem in Borneo, and we need your help to turn it into a thriving release camp.

You can give Jack, and orangutans like him, a wild place to call home 🔗 https://bit.ly/4wXyFCv

What is agroforestry?

Agroforestry is a forest-friendly way of farming WITH trees, not instead of them.

Rather than clearing land to plant a single crop like palm oil, crops like cocoa, vanilla, pepper, and coffee are all woven together with the natural forest.

It's farming that works with nature, not against it. And your support is making it happen! Learn more about agroforestry, and see the impact you're making for communities and forests in Sumatra: https://bit.ly/49Z2mc9

Do orangutans pair forest foods together like a wild pharmacist? Find out in this interesting article! 👉
