Welcome!
Thank you for dropping by to check out our new website! Here is where we will post news regarding campaigns, activities, media material and others, carried out by Malaysian campaigners at Friends of the Orangutans.
More will be added into this website as time progresses, do check back!
This website is generously sponsored by loyal FOTO supporter, Miss Jeanie Elford, and nethed.
The attitude of Malaysians towards animal welfare is changing, slowly but surely. Yet, orangutans from those struggling to survive in the wild to those in captivity, need our help.
Friends of the Orangutans is one of the most active groups in Malaysia and we need volunteers for various projects which require tasks including:
1. Running and maintaining planned orangutan campaigns
2. Planning & preparation of orangutan enrichment programmes.
3. Raising awareness regarding the use and effect of palm oil on orangutans
4. Investigations
5. Communicating with the press, wildlife department, zoos, et cetera
6. Fundraising
7. Website and social media maintenance
8. Other necessary administration tasks
As a fresh Malaysian orangutan group especially looking to empower locals, we welcome Malaysians to join us in protecting our orangutans. You can volunteer even if you aren’t Malaysian.
Please send us your CV at the email below. Or contact us if you have any questions. If you are interested in becoming a permanent member (need to be Malaysian based) of FOTO, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
