The projects funded by The Orangutan Project not only include direct orangutan conservation, such as orangutan rescue, rehabilitation and release programs, but also forest habitat protection and regeneration, education, research and local community partnerships.

The goal of the Mali Elephant Project is protecting the iconic desert elephants of Mali, through: empowering local people to conserve and restore the habitats of the Gourma ecosystem in central Mali, West Africa; and creating action plans for humans and elephants to co-exist peaceably and for mutual benefit. It also works with government to fight poaching in this zone of conflict and high insecurity. Yachak proudly supports the work being done by this incredible organization.
