Orangutan Magnet - Endangered Species

Discover the orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus / Pongo abelii), one of our closest living relatives and the largest tree-dwelling mammal in the world. With their distinctive reddish-brown fur, remarkable intelligence, and gentle nature, these great apes spend most of their lives in the rainforest canopy — and their name literally means “person of the forest” in Malay.

This premium magnet features stunning wildlife photography that captures the expressive gaze and impressive presence of this extraordinary great ape.

Conservation Status: Critically Endangered

• Population: Approximately 104,000 Bornean and 14,000 Sumatran orangutans (declining rapidly)
• Habitat: Tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra
• Major Threats: Deforestation for palm oil, logging, illegal pet trade, hunting
• Habitat Loss: Over 100,000 hectares of forest lost annually
• Lifespan: 30-40 years in the wild

Fascinating Facts:

• Orangutans share 97% of their DNA with humans
• Their name means “person of the forest” in Malay
• They have the longest childhood of any animal besides humans (7-8 years)
• Orangutans are incredibly intelligent — they use tools and solve complex problems
• Their arm span can reach 2.3 meters, perfect for swinging through trees
• They build a new nest in the trees every night

Rainforest in Crisis:

Orangutans are losing their forest habitat at an alarming rate. Each year, vast areas of rainforest are cleared for palm oil plantations, logging, and agriculture. This habitat destruction not only threatens orangutans — it destroys one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Without urgent action to protect the remaining forests and stop illegal hunting, these gentle giants could disappear from the wild within our lifetime.

We partner with organizations that make a real, measurable contribution to wildlife conservation. Together, we are building a community of wildlife ambassadors — one magnet at a time.

With the purchase of this magnet, we donate €2.00 to wildlife conservation – directly contributing to the preservation of the orangutan and its rainforest habitat.

Turn your fridge into a tribute to our closest relative — and a reminder that saving orangutans means saving entire ecosystems.
