FREE AND HAPPY: FOUR ORANGUTANS IN KEHJE SEWEN
It has been a great start to 2016, and our PRM team continues to patrol and observe the orangutans we have reintroduced in the areas surrounding Camp Nles Mamse and Camp Lesik.
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.
It has been a great start to 2016, and our PRM team continues to patrol and observe the orangutans we have reintroduced in the areas surrounding Camp Nles Mamse and Camp Lesik.
Very sadly not all of the orangutans within our rehabilitation centers can be released back to the wild. Orangutans arrive at our centers of all ages and in all kinds of conditions.
The reconstruction of Island 6 is finally complete. After 5 months of hard work, we have installed a new platform for orangutans to rest on, as well as several rubber ropes and new barrels for them to play with.
After a 6-day expedition to locate previously-released orangutans, we finally managed to find one which we had not detected for quite some time: we found Juminten not far from Camp Lesik.
While the BOS Foundation actively searches for new release areas and points within Kehje Sewen forest, the PRM (Post Release Monitoring) team remains consistent in the monitoring and tracking of previously-released orangutans.
