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.
KLHK, together with the BKSDA of Central Kalimantan and the BOS Foundation, will soon conduct the 41st orangutan release from the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre into the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park(TNBBBR).
The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation, in collaboration with BOS Germany (Deutschland) and BOS Switzerland (Schweiz), conducted team capacity-building activities on WingtraOne drone operation training from March to April.
In 2022, we took in several young, orphaned orangutans at our rehabilitation centres in Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari. Rumba was less than 12 months old when she arrived at the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Central Kalimantan.
Recently, a five-member Post-Release Monitoring (PRM) team - consisting of Faldo, Balan, Dandi, Yunus and Welem - set off early into the forest for a day of patrolling.
Together, the KLHK, the East Kalimantan BKSDA, and the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation have successfully released five rehabilitated orangutans into the Kehje Sewen Forest ecosystem restoration concession.
