Kesi Needs a Sister (or Brother)

Hi,
It’s time to get Kesi a sister or brother.
My birthday is coming up and I’m going to put an orangutan on my wish list.

Retired Movie Star – Geri the Orangutan

The Word is Getting Out

Hi,
I was so excited to hear from someone today that has also adopted Kesi. 
Her husband gave her the adoption certificate for Kesi for her birthday.
What a wonderful birthday gift!  Three beautiful pictures of your adopted orangutan, an adoption certificate and the knowledge that you are helping to save orangutans from dying.
It isn’t too late [...]

I’ve been keeping up on the show Orangutan Island.  I didn’t think I would get into each character as much as I did with Meerkat Manor.  But, then Cha Cha disappeared and even Lone couldn’t find her for most of the episode last week.  I knew I was involved as I let out a sign of [...]

But I decided it would be appropriate to write this time of year and discuss unique Christmas presents for your loved ones.
Why not adopt an orangutan for one or more people on your [...]
