The PONGO Alliance

The PONGO Alliance is an alliance of oil palm growers, businesses and NGOs, who aim to make resilient landscapes for wildlife and people, by seeking ways to allow lands outside protected areas to play a role in conserving wildlife. We find out more about the alliance and how they are working to create a Human and Orangutan Coexistence Landscape, from its Executive Director, Dr John Payne, and also from Dr Felicity Oram, who is the Kinabatangan Project Director for the alliance.
