She's trying to save her home... but can't.

And now the bulldozers are clearing a tiny speck of rainforest where earth's last 800 Tapanuli Orangutans cling to life.

It's all to build a hydropower dam -- and it could push them to extinction.

Indonesia's President can still cancel the dam -- and with elections coming up, he wants to be seen as the people's president. So if we create a massive campaign, get media all over the story, and run polls to show citizens want him to save the orangutans, he could do it!

The diggers are moving right now -- add your name and tell everyone!
