Gito’s life began in the most heartbreaking way - abandoned in a filthy cardboard box, malnourished, dehydrated and suffering from severe skin disease after being kept as an illegal pet. His rescuers feared he was already gone, but against all odds, he survived.

Now a confident and curious young orangutan, he spends his days exploring, foraging and learning the essential skills he’ll need to one day return to the wild. But his journey isn’t over yet. By adopting Gito, you’ll help provide the expert care, nourishment and protection he still depends on as he prepares to return home.
