2016 Orangutan Caring Week: Critically Endangered, Critically in Need



From November 13 – 19, we at  encourage you to show your support for orangutan conservation, and to help, we’re providing a few ideas you can do to help orangutans!

1. Make a Paper Craft Orangutan
The creative folks at Canon have come up with a wonderful orangutan 3D model that students can make using these assembly instructions. Teach a lesson on orangutans, decorate your classroom with the models, and then let students take them home as an ongoing reminder of the need to protect these beautiful apes.

2. Are You Smarter Than an Orangutan?
It’s quiz time! Test your  knowledge with this fun game based on the TV quiz show.

3. Enjoy Story Time
Download this comic book and join Ranger Rick and his traveling companions Scarlett Fox and Sammy Squirrel as they explore the wildlife of Indonesia and wonder: where are all the orangutans?

4. Learn About Palm Oil
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo developed a handy resource kit full of information about palm oil, how it effects orangutans, and what you can do to help protect orangutan habitat by using products that contain Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.

5. Visit the El Paso Zoo
With regular Zoo programs, you can learn more orangutans! Also, when you visit the Zoo to see your orangutan friends, Butch, Ibu and Khaleesi, you help contribute to orangutan conservation worldwide.
