Asha's Orangutan Adventure

Matang Wildlife Centre, in Borneo, is an Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre that I will be volunteering at. Due to mass deforestation, mining and forest fires, the habitat of the area's orangutans is depleting and under constant threat. As a consequence, the species is increasingly endangered. The Matang Wildlife Centre is a refuge for orangutans which have been left injured, orphaned or have been rescued, usually as a direct result of these threats. The centre works tirelessly to reverse this trend in a number of ways and is thoroughly enriched by the involvement of volunteers. My endeavor is to fundraise for a trip to Borneo.
