John,

Indonesia’s Tapanuli orangutans are THE most threatened ape in the world – only a few hundred are left. Now, a gold mine is destroying their only habitat, threatening to wipe them into extinction.

But there's hope! Norway's Pension Fund – the largest sovereign wealth fund *in the world* – just announced it will divest from the companies responsible for this heartbreaking habitat destruction.

This is a massive win, and could be the turning point we need to force decision-makers at other financial institutions to follow suit – and stop investing in this deadly project!

That's where we come in. We’re ready to launch an emergency response team – exposing other funds fueling the orangutans' demise, launching hard-hitting campaigns demanding divestment, and turning up the heat on pension fund managers to act.

Can you chip in to make it happen and help save Tapanuli orangutans from extinction?

Tapanuli orangutans were only discovered relatively recently, living on just 475 square miles of upland forest in Sumatra, Indonesia. These highly intelligent creatures are our close relatives – they share 96.4% of our genes!

Fewer than 800 are believed to be left in the wild, and the species’ chance of survival decreases every single day as operators of the Martabe gold mine continue to clear more and more of the precious forest. 

But divestment by Norway's Pension Fund gives us a huge opportunity to push other funds to follow.

If we can raise enough, first we’ll launch urgent research to expose the billions of dollars locked in our pensions and retirement funds that are fueling the orangutan-killing gold mine. Then, we’ll use that intel to ramp up the pressure on key fund managers to follow Norway’s lead and starve the mining company from the capital they desperately need to fuel this habitat destruction.

This is our best chance to save the Tapanuli orangutan…but we have to act quickly, before they’re gone forever. John, can you donate just a little to save the species?
