From as little as $55 you can make a real difference and help these infants survive. All adoption money goes directly to helping the orphans at the various care centres we support:
- • Care and Quarantine Centre in Pangkalan Bun, Borneo, Indonesia
- • Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Project, Borneo, Indonesia
- • Batu Mbelin Orangutan Quarantine Centre, North Sumatra, Indonesia
- • Orangutan Rescue Centre, Ketapang, West Kalimantan, Indonesia
We are in regular contact with the staff at the centres and TOP representatives visit the centres several regularly to get updates on the orphans and see how they are progressing. For the small sum you can make a real difference and help these orphans survive.
All adoption money goes directly to helping orphans at care centres we support and providing opportunities for a safe return to the wild.
Why we should not use Palm Oil
The Oil Palm is an agricultural crop that produces palm oil. The clearing of land to plant the crop is the single biggest threat to the animals (many of which are endangered), the local villages and the forests in Indonesia and Malaysia. Forest the area of 300 football fields is being destroyed every hour.
What is Good Why Good Wood
Forest that looked like scenes from the Jungle Book with lush, dense forests, a myriad of animals and indigenous cultures are being bulldozed and burnt out of existence.
Some of the endangered animals in these areas include the Orangutan, Tiger, Elephant and Rhinoceros. There are thousands of other species in these areas. Saving any of them, saves them all.
So why not use an alternative oil? Palm oil is a cheaper product to use than alternatives. Cheaper to a consumer means a few extra cents for your products. Cheaper to the manufacturers means millions of dollars profit. The reality is that as a consumer you don't gain much at all, however we all lose something that can never be brought back.
Good Wood comes from ethical and ecologically sustainable sources. When you choose Good Wood, you support a solution to deforestation and related climate change, you protect unique biodiversity and you help local forest communities find alternatives to poverty and loss of livelihood.
