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.
On 23 December, 2017, a 2-year-old baby orangutan arrived at the BOS Foundation’s Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. The small, frightened baby girl, whom we later named Rachel, was handed over in a wooden box by a local resident.
The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation, in cooperation with the East Kalimantan BKSDA, has successfully released another six orangutans from the Samboja Lestari Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and into the Kehje Sewen Forest.
Laila came from the Ragunan Zoo in Jakarta and was handed over to the BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestari Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre on 18 March 2001.
Petak arrived at BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestari Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre on 9 August 1998, at the age of two. She had been illegally kept as a pet by a local resident in the Sebulu area, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan.
Our orangutan Post-Release Monitoring (PRM) team in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (TNBBBR) spends most of their time observing our released orangutans, collecting data on how well they are adapting to their new environment...
