Raw Wildlife Encounters (RAW) will be leading their final Earth 4 Orangutans Fundraising Tours for 2015.  On these tours, travellers actively and directly contribute to the conservation of the Sumatran orangutans.

RAW runs these fundraising tours to provide travellers with the exclusive opportunity to spend time with world leading Orangutan expert and Earth 4 Orangutans co-founder, Dr Ian Singleton, and go behind the scenes to meet the orangutans involved in this project. 

Earth 4 Orangutans is the international awareness campaign raising funds to support the Orangutan Haven and Wildlife Conservation Education Centre and was founded by Dr Singleton and RAW's Director Jess McKelson.  The Orangutan Haven is the first of its kind, and its development will achieve a number of important conservation goals vital for the more positive and sustainable future of Northern Sumatra's people, wildlife and environment.

Throughout this tour, travellers will be led by Raw Wildlife Encounters professional wildlife leaders. All RAW's wildlife leaders are professional zoo keepers from both Australia and New Zealand, and are passionate about the survival of the Sumatran orangutans. 

Travellers will be introduced to the beauty of Gunung Leseur National Park, exploring the rainforest for wild orangutans and other unique Sumatran flora and fauna, as well as spending time at the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) to further understand the work they do with saving orangutans.

Throughout this 7-day tour, travellers will stay in comfortable eco lodges, jungle caves, sleep under a 30-foot waterfall, and at Bukit Lawang, which is home of several species of primates, including the Thomas Leaf Monkey and orangutan.  Travellers will also be able to hand feed and bathe baby elephants, as well as experience the gracious hospitality of the Karonese people.

The Earth 4 Orangutans Fundraising Tours are $2,500 per person with 100% profit donated directly to the Earth 4 Orangutans Projects.
