Grey Headed Flying Foxes sold for meat in South East Asia.....HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Please support my amazing friend and veteran Sea Shepherd crew member Tod Emko as he embarks on a conservation trip to Indonesia.

Tod and his team will be directly rescuing wildlife such as orangutans, flying foxes, dogs and cats and documenting the effects of palm oil plantations and illegal smuggling on wildlife populations.

They hope to build a permanent animal hospital in the area and will undertake local humane education programs.

Supporters can also receive exclusive video footage of their rescue mission!

Join us as we go to Indonesia to meet the local Sumatrans who live in one of the most important island ecosystems on earth. We will listen to their voices and share their stories with the world.
