    Zoos, animal facilities, groups and organizations from around the world are joining in a very special international Mother’s Day campaign focusing on the plight of orphaned orangutans: M.O.M. - Missing Orangutan Mothers. Would you like to join in?

    For more info: M.O.M. — Missing Orangutan Mothers | Orangutan Outreach

    What better way than on Mother’s Day to celebrate one of Earth’s best mothers? It’s the perfect day to bring awareness to the plight of these beautiful red haired apes and to, hopefully, encourage people to want to help protect them.

    If you’d like to participate in this special day, please email me at [email protected] and we will add your zoo to a list of participating institutions and groups to be posted on the Orangutan Outreach website.

    Hope you’ll join us,
