As part of International Orangutan Mothers Awareness Day on Saturday, May 7 and Sunday, May 8 the Zoo will pay tribute to orangutan mothers around the world. Because of the growing demand for palm oil, more and more orangutan mothers are being killed every year. On this day, visitors of all ages are invited to visit the Primate Building at the Birmingham Zoo to learn more about this important cause.
