International Orangutan Day, celebrated on August 20th, is a special day to learn about and help orangutans. Orangutans are great apes with orange fur that live in the rainforests of Asia. This day reminds us how important it is to protect orangutans because they are in danger of disappearing. People destroy their homes for things like paper and palm oil, which is in many everyday products. On this day, people all around the world think of ways to help orangutans, like saving the forests they live in or teaching others about why these animals are so special and need our help.
How to celebrate International Orangutan Day?
Celebrate International Orangutan Day by drawing your favorite orangutan and sharing it with friends. Watch fun videos about orangutans to learn about their habitat and behavior. Make a simple donation box at home by decorating a jar, then collect spare change to donate to orangutan protection charities. Share what you've learned with your family during dinner, and encourage them to join the cause. If you have a garden, plant a tree to create more green spaces. End the day with a bedtime story about orangutans and dream of all the amazing ways you can help protect them!
