Reaseheath College animal management students went orange to help save one of the world\u2019s most endangered apes.<\/p>\n

The students dressed in orange and asked others to do the same during fund raising activities for the \u2018Go Orange for Orangutans\u2019 campaign. Their efforts raised over \u00a3300 for the campaign, which was run by Chester Zoo as part of its \u201cAct for Wildlife\u201d initiative to raise money for conservation projects worldwide.<\/p>\n

Two groups of students took part. Seventeen Level 2 Diploma in Animal Care \u2018Group B\u2019 students raised \u00a3227 after being sponsored by family and friends to dress up in orange while members of Reaseheath\u2019s Conservation Society raised \u00a376 by holding a social event in the student bar. This included the free services of DJ Sam Walton, courtesy of Moo Media UK. As well as raising funds, the students \u00a0also took the opportunity to talk about the plight faced by orangutans due to habitat loss.<\/p>\n

The Level 2 Diploma students presented their cheque to Penny Rudd, Chester Zoo\u2019s Registrar and Internships Co-ordinator, when she visited the campus last week. The Conservation Society members handed over their donation during a recent trip to the zoo.<\/p>\n

Chester Zoo\u2019s appeal has raised over \u00a313,000 to be used to provide specialist camera traps in Borneo, the last stronghold of the wild orangutan.<\/p>\n

Penny Rudd, who is a former Reaseheath governor and has strong links with the animal management department, said: \u201cIt has been wonderful to meet students who are so keen to become involved in a real conservation project.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrangutans face a very uncertain future owing to habitat destruction, mainly caused by the widescale production of unsustainably farmed palm oil. Along with Reaseheath, Chester Zoo aims to actively encourage and educate young people who will have the power to influence the future. In this case we need to encourage shoppers to buy only the products which contain responsibly sourced palm oil (look for the RSPO signs on packaging!) This could have a major impact in saving what little habitat is left for the orangutans.”<\/p>\n

Level 2 Diploma in Animal Care Course Manager Holly Berry said: \u201cOur students were particularly keen to help as they had learned about the plight of wild orang-utans during their lectures. Both the students and I were very proud to have raised money for such a worthy cause\u201d<\/p>\n
