There are lots of ways you can show your solidarity with orangutans – with this list of ideas to get you started, there’s no excuse not to go wild this Ape-ril!

  • Let yourself go wild for the month, and get sponsored to grow a beard and dye it orangutan-orange.

  • Already got a facial forest? Check out our Beard Guide for some topiary inspiration.

  • Female orangutans can have pretty impressive facial hair. With a bit of creative hairstyling, you can weave your hair into a beard. Share a selfie, and get sponsored to keep it like that for a day, a week, or even the whole month.

  • Donate your birthday! If your birthday is in Ape-ril, you could ask your friends and family to make a donation to SOS instead of buying you a present this year. You can set up your own birthday fundraising page to collect donations.

  • Send an e-card to let a family member or friend know you’re thinking of them and make them smile - donate what you would have spent on a card and stamp via Don’tSendMeACard - and save trees at the same time!

You can set up an online fundraising page to collect sponsorship in just a few clicks:
