ENCOUNTER WITH ORANGUTANS MERYL AND LYKKE
Post-release monitoring allows us to observe orangutans in the wild. Recent sightings of Meryl and Lykke in TNBBBR show both female orangutans actively foraging and displaying excellent nest-building skills.
Indrayana, a Enrichment Coordinator at BOSF Nyaru Menteng who loves photography, just won first prize in the Central Kalimantan Biodiversity Photo Contest 2012, for the "Fauna" category.
In this photograph, Praca is fondly kissing her baby. Very touching.
Congratulation, Indra!

Forest fires create a hidden crisis for wildlife. Beyond destroying habitats, smoke exposure threatens orangutans' health, restricts food and water, and violates core animal welfare principles across Kalimantan's ecosystems.
When forest fires strike, orangutans face a deadly fight for survival. Trapped atop a burning tree in Central Kalimantan, baby orangutan Novita was rescued through a joint emergency effort by BKSDA, BOS Foundation, TNI AD, and local residents.
