#MISSINGORANGUTANMOTHERS
Today is #NationalSelfieDay… which made us think of baby #orangutan Selfie, who was the face of @redapes.bsky.social’s #MissingOrangutanMothers 2025 Campaign 🧡
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped raise awareness. Please support Orangutan Outreach all year:

An orangutan mom gives her baby everything. But her survival depends on us.
🌿 Protect her. Support her.

Happy Mother’s Day!
There’s a very special bond between orangutan mothers & their babies. The mother is her infant’s entire world, staying by their side for up to 8 years, teaching them everything.

🧡 Every orphaned orangutan is missing someone—her mom.
This week, we’re joining the M.O.M. (Missing Orangutan Mothers) campaign to honor them.
Follow along all week as we share ways to help orangutan moms & babies.

May look cute but every orangutan in this wheelbarrow lost their mom.
Orphaned by deforestation and illegal wildlife trade, they now rely on rescue centers to survive.
This Mother’s Day, let's support these centers.

Somewhere in Momo’s memories is the comfort of her mother. 🥹
Her mom’s arms were meant to be her safe place for 8 years, guiding her through the forest & teaching her how to survive.
Today is the culmination of the @redapes.bsky.social #MissingOrangutanMothers campaign. Support here:

#MissingOrangutanMothers is a serious issue! #Orangutan mothers teach their babies everything they need to survive in the forest. Without them, orphans like Selfie rely on human caregivers for love, support, and life lessons.

We hope the @redapes.bsky.social #MissingOrangutanMothers Campaign has shown how special the orangutan mother-child bond is. Though this year’s campaign is over, the work to protect and care for orphaned #orangutans carries on every day in the rescue centers. Please continue to support them.

Motherhood Is Endangered!
Orangutan moms are losing homes—and often their lives—so babies can be taken.
This Mother’s Day, give a gift that protects them.

#Orangutan moms raise just a few babies in their lifetime, each one staying by her side for up to 8 years, learning how to survive. 🦧
That slow start makes every life so precious… and every loss devastating.

#MissingOrangutanMothers impact babies like Selfie greatly. Taken from their mothers, they lose vital years of love and learning. Many are kept as pets before rescue.
At care centers, they begin rehab - learning the skills their mothers would’ve taught.

Beneath Momo’s adventurous nature, she’s still a baby who seeks reassurance. At just two years old, she should still be holding on tightly to her mother for comfort.
Momo’s story highlights the importance of @redapes.bsky.social’s #MissingOrangutanMothers campaign.

Momo was just one and a half years old when she was rescued in 2025, after being kept for 6 months in a wooden chicken cage. She’s safe now at BOSF Nyaru Menteng, where she’s joined the Nursery Group.
