With Tentsile’s support, SOS and our frontline partners can amplify our efforts to:
Tentsile’s global reach and environmental ethos help shine a spotlight on the work we do, inspiring their customers and the wider public to get involved in protecting forests. Together, we are sending a clear message: forests are irreplaceable, and their preservation is essential for the survival of not just orangutans but for countless species, including humans.
Sumatra’s rainforests are among the most biodiverse places on Earth, home to not just orangutans but also globally-threatened animals such as Sumatran elephants, tigers, and rhinos. The forests provide invaluable ecosystem services, regulating the climate, storing carbon, and maintaining water cycles that benefit local communities and the planet. However, the pace and pattern of forest loss is fragmenting these forests, leaving orangutans trapped in isolated patches too small to sustain them.
With fewer than 14,000 Sumatran orangutans and only 800 Tapanuli orangutans left, we are facing a critical juncture.As keystone species, orangutans play a vital role in maintaining the health and resilience of the rainforest. By dispersing seeds, they support a rich array of life, making their protection essential for preserving the entire ecosystem.
At SOS, we believe that forest conservation must benefit both wildlife and people. By empowering local communities to become stewards of their natural resources, we and our frontline partners can foster sustainable livelihoods and ensure long-term conservation success. This is why our partnership with Tentsile is so powerful—we share a deep commitment to protecting forests for the benefit of all.
Tentsile’s support of our work aligns perfectly with our values. They understand that protecting forests is not just about preserving wildlife, but about ensuring a sustainable future for people and the planet. With their help, we can raise awareness about the importance of forest conservation and inspire action that will make a lasting impact.
Together, we are working to protect the last strongholds of Sumatra’s rainforests, ensuring that these vital ecosystems continue to thrive for generations to come. Stay tuned for more updates on our collaborative efforts and the positive impact we are creating for orangutans, forests, and the future of our planet.
