    Blackpool Zoo is marking Orangutan Awareness Week by auctioning unique works of art hand crafted by its male orangutan to raise money for charity.

    Ramon, who is 17, has produced a series of paintings after picking up the skill as a youngster while being hand-reared by keepers at Leningrad Zoo in St Petersburg.

    All funds raised will be donated to the The Orangutan Foundation and is intended to support those helping orangutans whose natural habitat has been devastated as a result of the raging forest fires in Indonesia.

    The auction will take place on Blackpool Zoo?s Facebook pages throughout Orangutan Awareness Week: https://www.facebook.com/blackpoolzoo/

    The Zoo is also releasing Ramon?s extraordinary life story, which documents his journey from boy to man.
