Volunteers Program

Make an Impact!

Our organization Ibu Bumi Orangutan has the mission of protecting the rainforest through different programs related to sustainable economic development, education and wildlife protection. To achieve this, we have several programs on the ground in collaboration with different local partners. Each of these programs has different missions.

We offer the opportunity to learn and share knowledge in the field. The possibility for students who have completed their studies and need an internship to do it with us. This type of volunteering is aimed at people of all ages and families who are 100% able to adapt to the field and work.
