    The Orangutan Species Survival Plan®

Formed in the 1980's, the Orangutan SSP is a group of dedicated professionals with five primary goals:
  • ​Ensuring the genetic and demographic health of the captive population
  • Advancing the care of captive orangutans
  • Engaging in research to help learn more about orangutans and their care
  • Educating the public about critical orangutan issues
  • Partnering with other organizations that seek to improve the lives of wild and captive orangutans
 Welfare of individuals, social groups and populations
Together with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Orangutan SSP serves the accredited zoos that house orangutans in the United States, Canada, Mexico and South Korea.
​​
Working closely with respected professionals in the field, the SSP provides help and guidance to zoos housing orangutans. Together, zoos and the SSP seek to provide the best possible environment for these amazing apes.
AZA members are committed to #orangutan conservation. Between 2018 and 2019, over $2.2 million was spent on orangutan #conservation focused on habitat restoration, rescue and rehabilitation, and education and outreach. #WeAreAZA #AZASAFE #SavingSpecies
