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.
I am new to Batikap and readily admit to a long-term love of orangutans, which began after I learned of their remarkable intelligence and endured due to their great behavioural charm. Recently, I have found myself most taken with Ella.
The orangutans from our last release group (Nyaru Menteng 12th Orangutan Release) have settled in at Batikap, and are beginning to go their separate ways.
When I arrived at Totat Jalu Camp in March, I immediately saw Lesta and Lewis, a mother-and-son pair released to the Batikap Conservation Forest in February 2013.
The BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestari Orangutan Reintroduction Program safeguards seven manmade islands in East Kalimantan, where rehabilitated orangutans are able to live a safe and peaceful life in a semi-wild outdoor environment.
It has been seven months since the last orangutan release, and I feel so lucky because I now get to see my baby boy with his mother in the forest at Batikap.
