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.
The PRM team in Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest, Central Kalimantan were observing two mother-infant units: Jambi and Jamartin, and Sumeh, Gembira and Sawung separately when the two groups accidently met up.
When I arrived at Totat-Jalu Camp in Batikap with Coral, one of the post-release monitors (PRM), we received an update from Svenja and Nick also on the PRM team, and Purnomo, the Camp Coordinator,
To ensure that the released orangutans are adapting well, the PRM (Post-Release Monitoring) team is regularly observing and collecting data on their behavior and assessing how they have adapted to their new life and habitat.
Towards the end of 2015, BOS Foundation released another four orangutans from the East Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program in Samboja Lestari to Kehje Sewen Forest, with the support of our partner organization, BOS Switzerland.
It had been a while since we had observed Yayang and her family, so the PRM team in the northern part of the Kehje Sewen Forest dedicated several days to collect observational data on these three orangutans.
