What is the Rewild Fund?

Support rewilding to build a thriving future for Sumatra’s wildlife and communities.

At SOS, we are collaborating with our frontline partners in Sumatra to protect, connect and rewild the orangutans’ forest home. Supporting rewilding in orangutan landscapes is a vital branch of our conservation strategy, towards a thriving future for Sumatra’s orangutans, wildlife, forests and people. We invite like-minded businesses and organisations to join us in this mission. Take a look at our Rewild Fund Community here. With every tree planted and every hectare restored, we’re one step closer to a wilder, greener world.

Why Protect Sumatra’s Forests?

Orangutans need trees…and so do we!

Orangutans spend their lives in the trees, and as well as thousands of species of animals and plants, many millions of people in northern Sumatra rely on the rainforests for vital ecological services, such as climate regulation and flood control. Protecting and rehabilitating rainforests like these is also crucial in the global fight against climate change.

Orangutans are key to keeping the rainforests healthy

All the species that share the rainforest have a part to play in the health of the ecosystem, but orangutans are true ‘gardeners of the forest’. Their diet includes hundreds of different types of fruit, and they spread the seeds throughout the forest in their dung. They also make a new nest to sleep in every evening, breaking branches and allowing light through the thick canopy onto the forest floor, helping young plants to thrive and grow.

People of the forest

The rewilding projects we support in Sumatra provide local people with sustainable ways to support their families while preserving and restoring the rainforest. Strong roots in the community are essential for this work to succeed, and the groups we work with have become guardians of the forests, protecting wildlife and creating sustainable livelihoods. By blending traditional knowledge with innovative conservation strategies, these local champions ensure the rainforest thrives for future generations while fostering a harmonious relationship between people and nature.

Learn More About Our Work

Rewilding

We support a range of interventions to enhance, rehabilitate and re-establish orangutan habitat. We follow a rewilding philosophy, focused on creating a self-sustaining natural system integrated with the human communities around and within it. Rather than striving to recreate historical conditions or exclude human presence, we look to the future to support nature and people in generating functional, sustainable ecosystems that provide services for people and biodiversity, including a long-term home for orangutans.
