ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07338954)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 30 November 2023


Charitable Objects
For the benefit of the public to promote the preservation of the wild Bornean orangutan in their natural habitat, to promote their long-term welfare and to protect them from extinction worldwide. To advance the education of the public in the study, preservation and protection of the wild orangutan population in Borneo.

Charitable Aim
Orangutan Appeal UK works tirelessly to help the critically endangered orangutan. We are dedicated to the provision of a sustainable future for the species through orangutan rehabilitation and conservation of their rainforest habitat and by raising awareness of the plight of this great ape across the world. Specific needs are identified and taken on as projects. Each project is funded and managed by Orangutan Appeal UK with goods, services and labour sourced locally wherever possible.

Orangutan Appeal UK work in partnership with the Sabah Government in Malaysia and we are proud to be the first Non-Government Organisation (NGO) to have been partnered with them.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims
Our trustees and staff identify projects that will offer the maximum benefit to orangutan conservation. These projects primary focus is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Sabah, Malaysia (Sepilok), projects outside of Sepilok are considered for funding if conservational benefit can be demonstrated. Each project is assessed on its merit and charitable funds assigned on the basis of impact.

Introduction
The trustees of Orangutan Appeal UK are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30th November 2023. This report provides an overview of the activities and achievements of the charity during the past year, as well as the financial performance and position at year-end.
During the past year, our charity has continued to navigate financial challenges stemming from the pandemic and a fluctuating global economy. Despite these hurdles, we have seen positive developments, most notably a 41% increase in our income through our adoptions programme compared to the previous financial year. However, this remains 30% lower than pre-pandemic levels. This increase can be largely attributed to the recovery in foreign visitor numbers to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, following the reopening of Malaysia's borders to tourists in April 2022. In 2022, Sepilok received just over 2,000 foreign visitors. By 2023, with renewed global travel interest, this number increased to over 60,000, resulting in an increase in adoptions as visitors chose to adopt an orangutan during, or as a result of, their visit.

One of our significant financial challenges was the escalating costs of postage and materials. Postage charges increased by an average of 14%, and the cost of our adoption pack materials has increased across the board. The growing preference for postal adoption packs and updates among supporters has significantly contributed to these increased expenses.

Ensuring affordability for supporters wishing to adopt an orangutan remains crucial. We strive to offer competitive adoption options compared to other organizations with similar programmes. Any adjustments in adoption pack costs in the upcoming year will be carefully considered to maintain effective community engagement and uphold our mission.

A pivotal achievement for our charity this year was the implementation of a brand refresh and a new website. This strategic decision was driven by our commitment to enhance visibility, attract new supporters, and better engage with our existing community. Our previous website, unchanged since 2008, featured an outdated design and a complex checkout process. With a new logo and a more user-friendly website, we are now better equipped to clearly articulate our mission and activities. These updates not only modernise our visual identity but also strengthen our ability to connect with supporters in a competitive digital landscape.

How our activities deliver benefit
Charitable benefit is delivered as a result of our project expenditure. Projects that have been invested in the period covered by this document are detailed below.




ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07338954)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 30 November 2023

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre £341,037
Orangutan Appeal UK directly funds twelve staff positions at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. These currently include a wildlife veterinarian, supervisor, veterinary nurse, rangers and care staff.

We are committed to fostering local community involvement and economic empowerment. One way we uphold this commitment is through our employment practices, which prioritises hiring individuals from the local and surrounding areas, when feasible.

Sepilok's aim is to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned, injured and displaced orangutans and prepare them for eventual release back into the wild. For those for which that is not possible, to provide a safe haven for them to live. Our team oversee the entire rehabilitation journey including providing full-time care for and ensuring their wellbeing through feeding, medical treatment and nurturing; teaching essential survival skills, such as climbing, nest building and foraging, preparing them for eventual release; and maintain the facilities to create a safe and enriching environment for the orangutans.

Throughout 2023, the team responded to numerous challenges faced by wild orangutans. Among these efforts, they came to the aid of two wild male orangutans in critical situations who had to be rescued and brought under their care at Sepilok. One orangutan, who was displaced and disorientated underwent medical checks and careful monitoring before they were able to successfully return him to the forest. The other orangutan was severely malnourished, dehydrated and badly injured, most likely from a territorial dispute with another male. He received extensive care, including consultation with local hospital orthopaedic teams. Currently, he is housed in a new large enclosure designed to aid his recovery and regain strength and flexibility in his joints. It is hoped he will be returned to the wild.

In addition to their essential role in orangutan rescue rehabilitation, another key aspect of their work is education and outreach. Local communities are actively encouraged to engage in conversation efforts. Outreach programmes have been designed and delivered to raise awareness within communities living in and around orangutan habitat, helping to increase awareness about orangutan conservation, sustainable practices and the benefits of preserving natural habitats and resources.

The team also deliver educational programmes to schools which include interactive activities and workshops, proving a fun and engaging environment for children to learn. Many of these programmes are done in collaboration with other conservation organisations including Sabah Wildlife Department, Rainforest Discovery Centre, Tropical Rainforest Conservation and Research Centre, BSBCC, WWF-Malaysia, Seratu Aatai, the Forest Department plus many others. We believe by working collaboratively we can combine our strengths, resources and connections to have a greater impact on orangutan conservation.

To enable our team to efficiently respond to rescue operations, conduct releases, monitor wild orangutans, and participate in education and outreach activities, a reliable vehicle is indispensable. The escalating repair costs of our old Land Rover made its upkeep unsustainable, necessitating its replacement. We have since acquired a suitable second-hand Toyota Hilux to support these critical activities.

We are pleased to have fulfilled our commitment to investing in the improvement of facilities at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre during the last financial year. Our largest project expense was the replacement of five enclosures, a crucial investment aimed at enhancing the orangutans' well-being and rehabilitation. These enclosures were designed to provide ample space for orangutans who are not currently able to live independently to exhibit natural behaviours such as climbing and swinging, with additional enrichment activities to encourage foraging behaviours. The space allows them to maintain some physical fitness, promote mental stimulation and reduce stress levels.

Additionally, we have funded renovations and improvements to the orangutan nurseries focussing on enhancing the orangutans' learning, including new platforms and rope systems, regular blood testing to monitor the orangutans' health, ensured access to specialist medications when needed, the purchase and planting of 100 fig trees in the Sepilok-Kabili reserve to encourage natural foraging behaviours, and emergency repairs to the outdoor nursery following storm damage.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 30 November 2023

Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) £10,000
We have continued to provide support to Borneo Nature Foundation to support their critical orangutan conservation efforts in the form of their fire-fighting team in Central Kalimantan, Borneo. The teams work tirelessly to prevent wildfires devastating the area and killing the existing wildlife population, which include one of the remaining strongholds of the Bornean orangutan. The work being carried out to reduce the damage caused by the outbreak of wildfires is paramount to the orangutans' survival in this area. As a result of these actions there was zero primary forest loss in their working area in 2023.

Our funding is also supporting tree planting initiatives, and peatland restoration using small wooden dams to rewet the forest floor. The combination of firefighting, peatland restoration and tree planting is protecting existing habitat and over the longer term will create vital new habitat.

Regrow Borneo £17,900
We have continued our support of this the Regrow Borneo reforestation project based in the Lower Kinabatangan region of Sabah, Borneo, which is led by researchers from Cardiff University, Danau Girang Field Centre, and KOPEL Bhd. This collaborative effort combines scientific expertise, local knowledge, and community involvement to restore degraded rainforest area crucial for orangutans, providing essential food sources and safe nesting sites. Despite challenges such as intermittent flooding, our funding has facilitated the restoration 8 hectares of degraded forest and the planting of 7,409 trees.

Additionally, we part-funded Danau Girang Field Centre's education and outreach programme in Sabah, engaging children in rural schools to foster positive attitudes, empathy towards wildlife, and a deeper understanding of nature conservation in communities residing near wildlife habitats. The programme aligns with UNESCO's efforts to make education a part of the international response to climate change.

Liaison Officer £6,013
In May 2023, we reintroduced our Liaison Officer volunteer programme in response to an increase in foreign visitors to Sepilok, particularly from the UK, Australia and USA. This underscored the importance of reintroducing an English-speaking representative at Sepilok.

Liaison Officers spend three months representing Orangutan Appeal UK at Sepilok. They are instrumental in our revenue generation efforts through their direct engagement with visitors, serving as ambassadors of our charity's mission. They play a crucial role in promoting awareness, encouraging support and funding through the orangutan adoption scheme, while fostering connections with a global audience passionate about orangutan conservation. Their presence and activities significantly amplify our charity's impact and sustainability.

UK visits to Borneo £10,041
Visiting Sabah is crucial for our charity. These visits foster vital relationships with local stakeholders, other conservation organisations and governmental bodies including the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment and the Sabah Wildlife Department, enhancing collaboration and ensuring our funding aligns effectively with conservation goals. Being on the ground, we gain firsthand insight into the challenges facing orangutans, informing our strategies and ensuring they are both impactful and relevant. These visits allow us to support our dedicated staff on site, ensuring their well-being and providing them with the necessary resources to continue their invaluable work in orangutan conservation.

The first visit took place in March 2023, and involved meetings with key figures such as the Director of Sabah Wildlife Department, the Head of Education of Sabah Wildlife Department, the Wildlife Rescue Unit, Danau Girang Field Centre and the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment of Sabah.

The second visit was at the request of the Sabah government to attend and participate in the annual Orangutan Caring Week, an important international event. This platform raises awareness, locally and globally, about the challenges facing orangutans and their habitat. It engaged local communities, schools, and stakeholders in Sabah, helping to develop understanding and support for conservation initiatives. By attending this event, Orangutan Appeal UK was able to strength our collaborations with local government and help raise awareness of our efforts within the local communities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 30 November 2023

We also hosted our own networking event. This served as another valuable platform to connect, share ideas, explore opportunities and build relationships with all the passionate individuals and organisations working in the field of orangutan conservation. The event facilitated inspiring exchanges, from research projects to community-driven outreach programmes, furthering our collective efforts to protect orangutans and their environment. We now hope to work more closely with

Future Plans
Our focus will remain on our core objectives, and we are committed to continuing to support the work carried out at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, including the funding of the orangutan care team. We will continue to focus on education and outreach initiatives, as well as habitat restoration through Regrow Borneo and BNF. Additionally, we are dedicated to fostering and strengthening local partnerships and collaborations to maximise our impact on orangutan conservation through combined resources, expertise and efforts.

Financial Review
During the year to 30 November 2023 the total gross income was £307,467, with costs of generating voluntary income of £76,189 resulting in a gross surplus of £231,278. This is higher than in the previous year due mainly to the increase in visitors to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, allowing us to connect with new supporters.

The adoption programme has continued to provide the charity with income of £130,235 during this period which, in conjunction with the generous donations and grants from our supporters, enables us to continue our support of our projects. We received gifts in wills totalling £52,577.

Orangutan Appeal UK continues to have a reserve policy of £50,000.

Orangutan Appeal UK identifies specific areas of need and adopts them as projects. Total costs incurred by projects for the year was £385,592. This is an increase on the previous year and reflects our commitment to expanding our conservation efforts and enhancing the welfare of orangutans at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre for the benefit of orangutan conservation.

The charity does not have any bank loans or debts.
