Connecting People, Protecting The Orangutans
At FORINA, we bring together a diverse mix of voices—from communities and government to businesses, academics, and NGOs—all focused on one shared goal: protecting orangutans and the forests that are their home.
Since 2009, we’ve been creating a space for collaboration, where we can exchange knowledge, ideas, and conservation strategies that make a real difference. We believe that protecting orangutans is most powerful when we work together, with open minds, a spirit of participation, and mutual support.
From raising awareness to advocating for policies that prioritize conservation, we committed to driving action that truly matters. Because every effort, no matter how small, contributes to a brighter future for orangutans and the forests of Indonesia
Mission
Statement
FORINA is committed to advancing orangutan conservation in Indonesia through awareness campaigns, policy advocacy, and continuous support. We bring together communities, government, businesses, and educational institutions to ensure the survival of orangutans and the long-term health of Indonesia’s environment. Together, we aim to build a future where both people and wildlife thrive, united in our mission to protect orangutans and their habitats for generations to come.
Orangutan Fact
Orangutans in Indonesia are protected under Law No. 32 of 2024 and Government Regulation No. 106.
>78% of Orangutan Habitat Lies Outside Conservation Areas
This means that most of the forests where orangutans live are not within officially protected areas such as national parks or wildlife reserves. As a result, these habitats are more vulnerable to land conversion, logging, and other human activities that threaten orangutans’ survival. Expanding protection is crucial to ensuring the safety of their habitat.

Empowering Action for Orangutans
Orangutans can’t speak for themselves — but we can be their voice.
At FORINA, conservation is more than a cause — it’s a shared movement. We bring together voices from all walks of life: researchers, local communities, businesses, governments, and young people just beginning to care.
Built on the power of collaboration, FORINA believes that protecting orangutans is something no one can do alone.
Since 2009, we’ve created space for connection and growth — shaping strategies, sharing solutions, and driving real, on-the-ground action. It’s not just about saving a species — it’s about keeping forests alive, for orangutans and for all of us.
