The Orangutan Protection Foundation (OPF) is a nonprofit environmental foundation organization located in Balikpapan, Indonesia. OPF is active in many fields. The main goal of the organization is to protect orangutans and the natural habitat they live in. The wild orangutan is at risk of becoming extinct. Wild orangutans live in Indonesia and Malaysia. The number of wild orangutans is decreasing rapidly every year.
OPF Foundation was founded in 1991 in Balikpapan, Indonesia as the Balikpapan Orangutan Society by Dr. Willie Smits. Dr. Smits, an ecologist and advisor to the Minister of Forestry in Indonesia, found a sick baby orangutan in the market in Balikpapan. Dr. Smits managed to care for the sick orangutan and was then given another. In 14 years, OPF has grown into a recognized foundation in Indonesia with sister organizations in 11 other countries.
Orangutans are unique, highly intelligent animals that share 97% of their DNA with humans. The orangutan is the largest living tree mammal in the world. They spend most of their lives living in trees, building nests each night to sleep at the top of trees.
