The Australian Orangutan Project

   
 

  Sylvan Springs donated wine to The Australian Orangutan Project's fundraising movie night, for the special screening of the new documentary "The Last Trimate" narrated by Mel Gibson. This special screening was aimed to raise awareness of the danger the Orangutans are facing due to their rainforest habitat disappearing at a rapid rate. The biggest threats are unsustainable permanent agriculture in the form of palm oil plantations, legal and illegal logging practices. Gold mining and the illegal animal trade have also been a significant factor in the decline of the wild Orangutan population. The Australian Orangutan Project (AOP) is the Australian contribution to international efforts to save the great apes. AOP is a non-profit organisation with a mission to ensure the survival of both the critically endangered Sumatran and endangered Bornean Orangutans.
The screening was a huge success in making everyone more aware of the issues the Orangutans are facing. Sylvan Springs was happy to give everyone at the screening complimentary glasses of wine to show our support for such a great cause.
