To President Joko Widodo, the Indonesian legislature, and all members of the Indonesian government:

We call on you to ban the North Sumatera Hydro Energy’s 510MW Batang Toru Hydroelectric Power Plant and any and all industrial development in the Batang Toru forest. These types of projects put some of the world's last remaining orangutans at risk. Orangutans are critically endangered and this project would put this precious species further at risk of extinction.

Indonesia: save humanity's new cousin!
This is wild! Scientists just announced there's a new species of orangutan that we never knew existed before... and they need our help.

They're called Tapanuli orangutans and they have their own distinct genes and features. But there's only 800 of them left -- and a new dam project is about to rip through their forest in Indonesia.

But there's still hope: the scientific announcement has made headlines, and investors are backing away from the project. Let's end it once and for all by getting the Indonesian government to stop all industrial projects in the Tapanuli's home land!

Sign now, then share everywhere - when we reach a million signers we'll take our call directly to the Indonesian authorities!
