The Orangutan Project is an international organisation founded in 1998 by renowned primate expert, the 'Orangutan Whisperer', Leif Cocks OAM. The organisation focuses on securing the survival of orangutans and other critically endangered species, while legally protecting vast tracts of rainforest and educating and empowering local communities. Sydney - it's time to laugh and make the world a better place at the same time.
