MiniMonos members adopt another orangutan!

Hey Monkeys! Calypso here with some very EXCITING NEWS! 

As some of you know, after adopting our first orangutan baby called Monti at MiniMonos, we have all been saving up to adopt an orangutan named Kesi from Orangutan Outreach.  The goal was to reach 250 Gold memberships and today we reached that goal! 

The 250th Gold Membership was purchased by a monkey named Magpie! If you see her on MiniMonos Island, you should definitely give her a monkey high-5!

Kesi is very special and very strong-hearted. She had her hand chopped off when plantation workers killed her mother with a machete. Now she is 5 years old and Kesi is an excellent role model for newly arrived orphans, at the forest school, where she lives.

Some of our alpha monkey members may remember that we had a big vote between adopting Kesi or adopting Monti first. Monti was the winner by only 4 VOTES!  If you haven't seen the older posts about this, check them out here:

We're getting a new baby!

Say hi to our newest baby, Monti!

From these posts you will see a lot of facts about orangutans and Orangutan Outreach where MiniMonos has adopted them from. If you'd like to see even more facts about them, you should take a look at the Orangutan Outreach website: http://www.redapes.org

Orangutan Outreach supports lots of orangutan adoption organizations so we can find out heaps from them about what is happening around the world with orangutan rescues. 

They also like to keep the adoption process environmentally friendly by handling it all online. This means:

-- No paper, no envelopes, no cardboard adoption certificate 

-- More money for the orangutans and less waste! 

We will get updates about our adopted baby several times a year, with photos and maybe even a video! They also provide a lot of information about what we can do to help save rainforests.

Wow! Now that is a lot of excitement! Thank you, monkeys, thank you so much for helping MiniMonos adopt a second Orangutan from Orangutan Outreach! It's an amazing thing to see how much you monkeys have helped out, and to see how friendly, fun, and giving you all are.

One last thing I want to say-- Welcome to the family Kesi!
