Photo of the Week: An Orangutan Plays in the Grass

Photo of Week is a feature that highlights the work IFAW does around the world everyday to rescue orphaned, injured, or mistreated animals.

A rescued orangutan at a rehabilitation center in Nyarumenteng, Indonesia. More than 400 orangutans reside at the Nyarumenteng center. Raging wildfires across Indonesia in late 2006 choked the country in a thick haze of smoke and drove dozens of endangered orangutans from their jungle habitat.

IFAW's Jennifer Miller helped rescue these orangutans (like the one in the photo above) just a few months ago. She is back in Indonesia once again working alongside CARE following a series of natural disasters that have struck the country.

The Animals in Haiti Need Your Support We urgently need your donation to help IFAW's emergency relief teams on the ground in Haiti. Your donation will help us buy the bandages, vaccines, antibiotics and other supplies for our mobile veterinary clinic.

We have partnered with WSPA to mount a coordinated animal relief response, and our team has deployed into the devastated country.


Your donation will go directly into IFAW's Emergency Relief fund, and will be used immediately and where needed most to help the animal victims of Haiti and our Emergency Relief work around the world.
