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.
July 1st is #InternationalFruitDay!
Orangutans are typically frugivorous, with over 100 types of fruit recorded in their diet from any one site.

For the whole month of July we are celebrating this fact and for every donation we receive, we will send you a special personalised e-certificate! For as little as $5, you can help us buy fruit for 10 of our baby orangutans for a day!

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.
