RESCUING ROSE, FOUND IN A WEAKENED STATE
When habitat changes force sun bears into human settlements, swift rescue efforts are vital. Meet Rose, a young sun bear rescued in a weakened state, now receiving intensive care at Samboja Lestari.
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.

Post-release monitoring allows us to observe orangutans in the wild. Recent sightings of Meryl and Lykke in TNBBBR show both female orangutans actively foraging and displaying excellent nest-building skills.
Forest fires create a hidden crisis for wildlife. Beyond destroying habitats, smoke exposure threatens orangutans' health, restricts food and water, and violates core animal welfare principles across Kalimantan's ecosystems.
When forest fires strike, orangutans face a deadly fight for survival. Trapped atop a burning tree in Central Kalimantan, baby orangutan Novita was rescued through a joint emergency effort by BKSDA, BOS Foundation, TNI AD, and local residents.
During the dry season in Kalimantan, falling river levels and shifting resources test the rainforest. Orangutans adapt through smart foraging and tool use, while BOS Foundation increases island monitoring to keep them safe.
