On the hunt for my new home

Hey, I’m Pongo - it means ‘orangutan’ in Latin and I am, in fact, an orangutan. I’m also a street artist and environmental activist, and I used to live in the rainforest in Borneo, Indonesia.

I loved my treetop home but it’s being destroyed to make room for more palm oil plantations, making me homeless. But with a little help from my friends at Meridian (the palm oil free nut butter brand) and International Animal Rescue, I’ve made my way to the UK to find a new home and spread the message about the impact deforestation is having on my critically endangered species.

I’m a big fan of street art, hanging out (mainly in trees) and am committed to a plant-based diet. After looking around the country I'm now after a cool place in London to settle down...

Hit me up if you’re cool with the idea of living with an orangutan. And let me know if you spot one of my orangutan murals I'm leaving along the way as I explore the city!

Love and peace,

Pongo
