Orangutan Foundation International Canada

Supporting Orangutan Conservation

You are here: Home / About Orangutan Foundation International Canada / Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The mission of the Orangutan Foundation International Canada is to support and continue the efforts of Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas in the conservation, protection, and understanding of orangutans and their rain forest habitat while caring for ex-captive orangutan orphans as they make their way back to the forest.

Orangutan Foundation International Canada seeks to educate the Canadian public, school children, and government entities about orangutans, tropical rain forests, and the threats to wild orangutan survival and their forest habitats. OFIC was created to enable concerned Canadians to contribute directly to these efforts through a Canadian foundation.

The purposes of the society are:

  • to conserve and protect orangutans through the operation of an orangutan rehabilitation facility and orangutan release camps in Indonesia;
  • to conserve and protect the tropical rain forests in Indonesia, which constitute the orangutans’ habitat;
  • to study orangutans and their ecology in order to develop best practices for their protection and conservation;
  • to educate and increase the public’s understanding and appreciation of the importance of orangutans, their ecology, rain forests, and conservation issues through educational seminars, printed materials and the internet;
