NOWHERE LEFT TO CLIMB?
Forest fires have severely damaged or cleared large swathes of orangutan habitat across Kalimantan.
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.
Forest fires have severely damaged or cleared large swathes of orangutan habitat across Kalimantan.
After a fire outbreak that burnt 30 hectares of rehabilitated forest at BOS Foundation’s Orangutan Reintroduction Center at Samboja Lestari in early September, another fire occurred in Samboja Lestari on September 23rd.
Forest fires occur regularly every year in Central and East Kalimantan, which significantly impacts both our orangutans and staff and the overall BOS Foundation activities.
Orangutan conservation effort does not stop at rehabilitaion. It only finishes after we ensure that these once stranded orphaned are back in the forest, where they belong.
The Post Release Monitoring (PRM) team in Kehje Sewen Forest bears the main task of observing and recording the reintroduced orangutan behavior for a minimum of one year after release.
