Featured Project
Safe habitat for Borneo’s orangutans
The orangutan could be the first great-ape to become extinct if we do not take urgent action. Restore has provided funding to help purchase a lease of 86.450 hectares of rainforest in East Kalimantan where the first rehabilitated orangutans will be released in 2011. In addition Restore has provided funding to the world’s largest orangutan rehabilitation centre in Central Kalimantan. Nyaru Menteng is run by Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and covers 390 hectares of safe habitat where orangutans are rehabilitated for release and those that cannot be released find a supported habitat on river islands.

Special Update
Bee Buddies
Honeybees are vital to our survival. They allow 70 percent of flowering plants to reproduce, accounting for over 30 percent of the foods and beverages we consume. The British Bee Keeping Association says if action is not taken Honeybees will disappear from Britain by 2018.
Restore UK is funding five beehives on the roof of Weston Park Museum in Sheffield. This is part of a project run by Groundwork Sheffield which aims to restore Honeybee populations by installing domestic hives on underused urban spaces.
