ORPHANED ORANGUTANS KEEP ON ARRIVING
In the last two months, five orphaned orangutans have been given sanctuary by the BOS Foundation rehabilitation center in Nyaru Menteng.
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.
In the last two months, five orphaned orangutans have been given sanctuary by the BOS Foundation rehabilitation center in Nyaru Menteng.
The sad reality of each young orangutan who enters our rehabilitation centers is that they come from having lived through a bitter past; usually having been separated from their mother at a very young age and little Tundai is no different.
It is not only the number of orangutan killings that are increasing lately, but also orphaned orangutans as a result of this.
This little orangutan is called Joko. He is one of many orangutans who were once illegally kept by humans, before finally being confiscated by the East Kalimantan Conservation and Natural Resources Authority (BKSDA)...
His expression shows sadness and desperation. Often his eyes wander to his three fingers, of which only half of them remain.
