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. This long-standing relationship enables us to continue to deliver practical, targeted support for orangutan conservation.

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), although projects outside Sepilok are considered for funding where clear conservation 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 2025. This report provides an overview of the activities and achievements of the charity during the year, as well as the financial performance and position at year-end.

2025 marked an important milestone for Orangutan Appeal UK as we celebrated 25 years of commitment to orangutan conservation. Over the past quarter century, the charity has grown from modest beginnings into a trusted and respected organisation, working in close partnership with conservation bodies, wildlife authorities and dedicated teams on the ground in Borneo. During this time, we have supported the rescue, care, rehabilitation and reintroduction of orangutans in need, contributed to vital veterinary and practical support, and delivered education and outreach activities that promote the long-term protection of orangutans and their rainforest home.

To mark our 25th anniversary, we held a celebration at Sepilok attended by our team, their families, members of the local conservation community and others connected to the centre. It was an opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved together and to recognise the support and dedication that have helped sustain our work over the past 25 years.

The past year saw continued commitment to orangutan rehabilitation, habitat protection, education and partnership working. Total incoming resources for the year were £913,103, compared with £664,982 in the prior year, an increase of 37%.

Our adoptions programme remained our most important regular source of income, generating income of £163,558, compared with £144,249, an increase of 13%. Adoptions taken out by visitors to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre accounted for nearly 40% of all adoptions, underlining the value of our volunteer Liaison Officers based at the centre.

As in previous years, careful management of expenditure remained essential. The expenditure schedule reflects continued investment in direct conservation activity, staffing, supporter stewardship, and operational infrastructure required to deliver the charity’s work effectively.

Despite keeping our postage processes efficient and continuing to offer digital adoption packs and email updates, our postage expenditure has increased by 31%. This rise is driven by external factors rather than higher volumes, as we have seen only a 1% increase in supporters opting to receive their adoption packs by post compared to the previous 12 months.

How our activities deliver benefit

Charitable benefit is delivered primarily through project expenditure and through the direct support Orangutan Appeal UK provides to frontline conservation work, habitat protection, education and public engagement. The projects and programme areas funded in the period are summarised below.

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre £455,089

Sepilok’s main aim is to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned, injured and displaced orangutans and, wherever possible, release them back into the wild. For those who cannot be reintroduced, the centre provides long-term sanctuary and specialist care.

Our work at Sepilok during the year focused on the practical needs of the orangutans in its care, from day-to-day rehabilitation and medical treatment to staff development, enclosure improvements and specialist veterinary input.

While orangutans remain our primary focus, the team also provides care for other rescued and surrendered wildlife brought to the centre, including elephants, pangolins, proboscis monkeys, owls and macaques. With specialist facilities and an experienced team in place, Sepilok plays an important wider role in wildlife care and rehabilitation in Sabah.

The team

Orangutan Appeal UK directly funds a core team of staff at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, including a supervisor, veterinary nurse, rangers and care staff. During the year, we expanded the team to 14 members of staff, through the appointment of an Education Officer and two additional ranger positions thanks to a generous legacy gift. These roles increased capacity for rehabilitation, monitoring and outreach, helping to improve the care of the orangutans, build their independence and gather important information on behaviour, diet and health. We recruit staff from the local and surrounding areas, supporting local employment and ensuring these roles remain rooted in Sabah.

Training and professional development

We supported a number of training and knowledge-sharing opportunities for the Sepilok team. This included funding for Sepilok’s veterinary officer and our supervisor to visit the BOS-Foundation which is another orangutan rehabilitation facility in East Kalimantan in Indonesia, where they were able to exchange valuable knowledge and ideas with fellow experts. We also supported attendance at the 2025 WARN Asia Annual Conference, as well as further practical training in orangutan food identification, tracking and tree climbing. These opportunities help improve rehabilitation practice, strengthen staff skills and ultimately benefit the orangutans through better-informed care and management.

Facilities, equipment and welfare

In addition to staffing, we funded equipment, tools, clinic supplies and enrichment materials. These resources support feeding, medical care, rescue, rehabilitation and monitoring, while also helping to create more varied and stimulating environments for the orangutans. Construction commenced on four new enclosures for orangutans who are unable to be released, improving provision for individuals who require lifelong care.

We also funded fencing for the juvenile elephants at Sepilok to provide a safer enclosed area for both the elephants and their keepers, allowing safer management, access to water and opportunities to display natural behaviours.

Orangutan monitoring, rescue and intervention

The team responded to four reports of orangutans in plantations, villages and other areas close to people. This included monitoring the orangutans, checking for nests and signs of recent activity, assessing whether intervention was necessary and advising local people not to disturb them. Where it was safe to do so, orangutans were left in place and monitored. Where one orangutan was injured and unable to cope independently, the team carried out a rescue operation so that veterinary treatment and further care could be provided.

This work helps reduce conflict between people and orangutans while ensuring that intervention is reserved for cases where it is genuinely needed. It also reflects the increasing pressures orangutans face as they move through fragmented habitats and agricultural areas.

Education and outreach

Education and outreach remained an important part of our work in Sabah. Over the course of the year, the team took part in community events, school visits and wider public awareness activities, helping to raise understanding of orangutans, their habitat and the importance of conservation amongst communities living closest to orangutan habitat. This work helps local people better understand orangutans and reduces the risk of conflict where people and wildlife live alongside one another.

Research and specialist input

We funded specialist veterinary and professional input to improve the care available at Sepilok. This included contributing towards an Advanced Dental Workshop led by Dr Cedric Tutt, providing specialist dental examinations and treatment for orangutans. We also secured voluntary consultative support from Professor Gerhard Steenkamp, giving Sepilok’s veterinary team access to additional expertise on complex cases through remote consultation and in-person support.

Alongside this, we continued to support research linked to orangutan health and rehabilitation. Our support for Dr Nisa’s work has contributed to research into orangutan health and nutrition, including dietary intake, overall health and the impact of malaria. This has the potential to inform treatment and care not only at Sepilok, but at rescue and rehabilitation centres more widely.

Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) £8,000

We continued to support Borneo Nature Foundation’s work to protect orangutan habitat in and around Sebangau National Park, Central Kalimantan. Their work focuses on peatland restoration, reforestation, fire prevention and community engagement, all of which contribute to the long-term protection of orangutans and their rainforest home.

During the year, BNF continued habitat restoration work, including peat re-wetting and reforestation, alongside fire prevention patrols and community-based activities. They also developed their orangutan health monitoring work, helping to build understanding of the health of this important wild orangutan population.

Regrow Borneo £12,850

We have continued to provide support to the Regrow Borneo reforestation project in the Lower Kinabatangan region of Sabah, Borneo led by Cardiff University and Danau Girang Field Centre. The project restores degraded forest through native tree planting, site maintenance and long-term ecological monitoring in partnership with the local community organisation KOPEL. This work helps reconnect fragmented habitat used by orangutans and other wildlife, while building a better understanding of how restored forest develops over time.

Restoration and monitoring continued across multiple sites, and early results suggest that restored areas are beginning to support a more complex mix of wildlife, underlining the importance of long-term, locally led habitat restoration.

The Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU) £6,500

The Wildlife Rescue Unit in Sabah is involved in the rescue and management of wildlife in need. We provided funding for the construction of two elephant calf enclosures at Borneo Elephant Sanctuary after two rescued calves became separated from their herds. Despite the best efforts of the WRU, they were unable to reunite them, and suitable facilities were then urgently needed for their ongoing care.

Diana Ramirez Memorial Fund Grant - £8,821

We awarded the first grant through the Diana Ramirez Memorial Fund, established in memory of Dr Diana Ramírez and in collaboration with Danau Girang Field Centre.

The grant supports an MSc research degree student in Sabah focused on forest restoration and seed dispersal by primates. Orangutans and other primates help spread seeds through the forest, which supports forest recovery. Better understanding this process will help improve habitat restoration, benefiting orangutans and other wildlife that depend on healthy forest.

Liaison Officer £11,998

We continuously place volunteer Liaison Officers at Sepilok throughout the year, with each completing a three-month placement. Acting as representative of Orangutan Appeal UK at the centre they contribute significantly to our fundraising efforts. Through direct engagement with visitors, they serve as key ambassadors. They promote our orangutan adoption scheme, secure essential funding and help build relationships with a global audience dedicated to orangutan conservation. Their presence at Sepilok continues to enhance public awareness and supports the charity's ongoing conservation efforts.

UK visits to Borneo £12,223

Regular visits to Sabah are essential to our charity. These visits strengthen key relationships with local stakeholders, fellow conservation organisations and government bodies, including the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment and the Sabah Wildlife Department. This collaboration helps ensure our funding is effectively aligned with conservation priorities. Direct observation of the challenges facing orangutans provides valuable first-hand insight, which helps inform and refine our conservation strategies. These visits also allow us to support our dedicated on-site staff directly, helping to ensure their wellbeing and provide the resources needed to continue their work in orangutan conservation.

Our April 2025 visit to Sabah helped strengthen relationships with Sabah Wildlife Department and support our team on the ground. The visit included the hosting of Orangutan Appeal UK’s 25th anniversary celebration in Sepilok, Professor Gerhard Steenkamp’s first visit to the centre and attendance at a special Sabah Wildlife Department event. It also provided an opportunity to discuss veterinary support, staffing and future priorities.

Our November 2025 visit focused on reviewing current priorities at Sepilok, including staffing, training, education, orangutan rehabilitation planning and future equipment needs. It also allowed us to discuss longer-term planning for rescues, releases and clinic development. Following our time in Sabah, we attended the WARN Asia Conference, helping to maintain links with others working in wildlife rescue and conservation in the region.

Future Plans

Our focus will remain on our core objectives and we are committed to continuing our support for the work carried out at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, including the funding of the orangutan care team. We will continue to prioritise orangutan rehabilitation and welfare, education and outreach, and habitat restoration through projects such as Regrow Borneo and Borneo Nature Foundation.

We plan to build on the developments made during the year by continuing to invest in staff training, with a particular focus on veterinary nursing and practical skills that strengthen rehabilitation and veterinary support. We also intend to continue recruitment efforts for a new vet to work at Sepilok, alongside investment in clinic improvements, enclosure modifications and equipment that will support orangutan care and welfare. In addition, we plan to invest in a new vehicle to strengthen education and outreach work in Sabah.

Financial Review

During the year to 30 November 2025 the total gross income was £913,103, with costs of generating voluntary income of £80,981 resulting in a gross surplus of £832,122.

The adoption programme has continued to provide the charity with income of £163,558 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 £564,796.

Orangutan Appeal UK has a reserve policy of £350,000, which represents an estimate of the charity’s normal annual expenditure.

Orangutan Appeal UK identifies specific areas of need and adopts them as projects. Total costs incurred by projects for the year was £514,036. 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.
