Go Ape

• Do something all apes can do - grow a beard!

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

• Dye your hair or beard orangutan-orange.

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

• Don’t forget to send us a photo for our Hairy Hall of Fame! Email your pictures to info@orangutans-sos.org

Share your orangutan-themed selfie on social media using #BeMoreOrangutan and nominate friends and family to unleash their inner apes too .
