Published focus

The Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) states its mission as “protect the orangutan and beyond”. Its profile page says the organisation was founded in 2007 by Hardi Baktiantoro and campaigns to protect orangutan habitat in Borneo and Sumatra. COP also describes running orangutan rescue and rehabilitation centres in East Kalimantan and North Sumatra, and assisting ex-situ facilities to improve orangutan welfare.

Understanding its work

Its programme page groups the work into habitat protection; rescue, rehabilitation and release; welfare support for orangutans in zoos; action on wildlife trade; and activist training through COP School. News posts on the site focus largely on the BORA (Borneo Orangutan Rescue Alliance) centre and the Sumatran Rescue Alliance. COP states that orangutans unable to be released because of illness or disability stay on sanctuary islands.

Before you contact

Use the contact details on the official website and briefly explain your purpose, such as a volunteering question, a collaboration or information about orangutans. Reports about protected wildlife should also go to the local BKSDA (conservation agency). Inclusion in this directory is not a partnership, a funding recommendation or an assurance that COP can take on a particular case; confirm its scope directly.
