Students raise funds in bid to save orangutans

Friday 08 June, 2007

Students from a school in Hampstead are currently trying to raise funds, in an effort to help orangutans in the forests of Borneo, it has emerged.

According to the Hampstead & Highgate Express, the two students from Hampstead School are trying to raise £1,000 through the Hampstead School Rainforest Appeal to secure the purchase of 2,000 acres of rainforest land.

"We started the campaign after a teacher at school went on a trip to Borneo and saw for himself the destruction taking place," said Alexandra Hurst, one of the fund-raising students at the school.

"He came back and told us how the orangutans were under threat. We really thought we should try to do something about it," she added.

Orangutans, native to both Malaysia and Indonesia, are currently at risk in Borneo, as a result of the damage being done to their natural rainforest habitat.
