Sanctuary

The Orangutan Conservancy awarded $15,000 to the Gibbon Conservation Center to support vital facility repairs and new enclosure construction in 2024–2025. The project, part of a larger $73,000 effort funded alongside the Abraham Foundation, Greenberg Animal Foundation, and public supporters, includes electrical upgrades, essential repairs, and new housing for gibbons *Rocky* and *Perak*. These improvements strengthen the Center’s ability to provide exceptional care and advance conservation for endangered gibbons.
The Gibbon Conservation Center is a unique conservation, research, and educational establishment. Residing just south of the Angeles National Forest sits a 10-acre property that over 40 gibbons call home. The center is the only institution in the entire globe to house and breed all four genera of gibbon.
OC is excited to relay the news that the boardwalk project has officially been completed despite many difficult and unforeseen delays. The new boardwalk will stand to serve the transportation needs of important personnel such as students, field teams, community patrols, volunteers, and even wildlife!
The Orangutan Conservancy has chosen OIC's Human Orangutan Conflict Response Unit (HOCRU)  for our focus on funding. The HOCRU is a specialist team of Indonesian conservationists, responsible for investigating, assessing, and mitigating any reported instances of conflict between farmers and orangutans around the Leuser Ecosystem, northern Sumatra, Indonesia
