The mission of Orang Utan Republik Education Initiative is to facilitate
conservation education regarding the endangered orangutan so that it will be
saved from extinction.
In order for the endangered orangutan to be saved from
extinction, local Indonesians must become informed about the laws and the
consequences of buying or owning orangutans and destruction of the rain forest.
Ultimately, Indonesians must come to value the wildlife in the conservation
sense and this will come about through effective education campaigns. At the
same time, people outside the habitat countries need to better appreciate the
orangutan and their role in the tropical ecosystem. OUR Education Initiative
will, therefore, target both local and international audiences in programs of
conservation education regarding the species and its threatened habitat.
