You can make a huge difference as well as give a great gift by adopting a monkey through WWF.

You can also adopt a monkey with Care for the Wild International. To sponsor an animal with PDSA click here.Orang-utans are now found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Habitat destruction and fragmentation - caused by commercial logging and clearance for oil palm plantations and agriculture - are by far the greatest threats that these amazing monkeys face.

If the current rate of deforestation continues, Borneo could lose most of its lowland forests in less than ten years.

But you can help to safeguard the future of wild orang-utans as well as giving a unique gift to someone you love by adopting one of these monkeys.

The WWF want to give orang-utans and other primates the chance to live and breed in relative safety away from the threats of poaching, habitat destruction and forest fires. By adopting a monkey you help enable the World Wildlife Fund to monitor and protecting them in their natural home.

It can all be done quickly and easily online. When you give the gift of adopting an Orang-utan, the person on whose behalf you have bought the gift gets a gift pack including a cuddly toy, adoption certificate, WWF pen, adoption card, background details of the species and information on the specific work undertaken by the WWF in this area.
