We are working hard to protect the Bornean orangutan and its habitat for future generations. Here are some of the ways we've helped develop a world where orangutans and nature thrive.
During the dry season, keeping peatlands wet is the best defense against wildfires. Through river patrols and rewetting, BOS Foundation’s Village Fire Team works tirelessly in Mantangai to prevent fires before they even begin.
Central Kalimantan's dry season raises fire risks on peatlands, threatening wild habitats and pre-release islands. BOS Foundation strengthens daily patrols and preparedness to protect orangutans before crises arise.
In peatland ecosystems, wildfire response success is decided long before the first hotspot appears. The Village Fire Team (RPK) stays prepared through equipment checks and routine simulations to protect vital peat forests.
Ecky, Klaus, and Frank have officially advanced to Forest School Level 2, marking a major milestone toward their eventual release. Through expanding skills and growing independence, the trio is taking another step closer to life in the wild.
Facing a strong El Niño in 2026, the BOS Foundation uses lessons from the 2015 wildfires to protect orangutans. By enhancing early detection and community firefighting, it works to safeguard habitats against drought and fire risks.
