We believe that humanity at times has a negative impact on the planet we live. From polluting the air and the water systems to mass deforestation. Our passion however lays in the primary forests of the world. 30% of the world's land cover is made up of forests. Within them lays a biodiversity second to none. They are the lungs of the planet, they are the provider of drinkable water and the source of many of our medicines known and not yet discovered. The forests of the world are a vital part of the global eco-system and unfortunately humanity is taking advantage (to our detriment) of it abundance. Because we are an Australian based company, Orangutan Odysseys is focusing its' efforts in our region and primarily in the Asian region.

Asia's enormous population has placed equally enormous stresses on the environment. None more so than the forests of Sumatra and Borneo the world's 3rd and 4th largest islands. Deforestation, mining and over population are having massive negative effects on these unique and vital eco-systems. Within these forests lay enormous biodiversity. At the top of the eco-system chain and what has become a mast head for conservation in the region, is the Orangutan.

It is our vision that through tourism to Sumatra and Borneo, to visit the magnificent Orangutan, we can educate those that venture there about the plight of the environment as a whole. The Orangutan is the magnet for travelers, but it is the entire eco-system that needs to be protected. Through these tours we will also raise much needed funds to assist small Conservation efforts that will provide much needed pockets of hope for the environment and provide us as a community living on the one planet we have, with beacons of what we can achieve if we have the will.

It is our goal to protect the environment in which the Orangutan live, to highlight examples of how humanity and the environment can live together harmoniously, and to ultimately turn the destructive direction in which we are traveling, towards a destiny where the forests of the world can expand whilst providing those that live within them a dignified and prosperous life.
