Woodland Park Zoo Support of Orangutan Conservation:
With an initial presence in 1984 (Tanjung Puting) in Indonesia in support of Orangutan Conservation on the ground, Woodland Park Zoo has continued to work in support of orangutan conservation throughout the years.

1998 – 2003: We gave over $10,500 in grants and supplies in support to Wanariset, Orangutan Rehabilitation center in Indonesia.

WPZ staff members Harmony Frazier, Andy Antilla and Dr. Darin Collins all visited the Wanariset center during that time to deliver supplies, share information, do trainings and in Andy's case, to work at the center as one of the staff over many months.

2003 – 2005: We have supported Orangutan Conservation Project in Gunung Palung through grant support to Dr. Cheryl Knott. To date grants have totaled over $11, 950.

Puget Sound Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers Support:
We are participating in an ongoing cell phone recycling program, with all the proceeds being donated to BOS-USA, an orangutan conservation group, at this time. The first shipment of phones secured about $500, and we expect to receive about $1,500 from the second shipment (recently sent out).

PSAAZK has also recently developed a relationship with Aramark, the food concessionaires at Woodland Park Zoo. It has agreed to donate $1 from the sale of each of their orangutan mugs to BOS-USA. The estimated total donation from this program will be about $1,200.
