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.
BOSF remains on high alert as prolonged dry conditions and wildfires impact peatlands in Central Kalimantan. While core release sites stay safe, veterinary teams actively treat 21 orangutans showing respiratory symptoms.
During the dry season, keeping peatlands wet is the best defense against wildfires. Through river patrols and rewetting, BOS Foundation’s Village Fire Team works tirelessly in Mantangai to prevent fires before they even begin.
Central Kalimantan's dry season raises fire risks on peatlands, threatening wild habitats and pre-release islands. BOS Foundation strengthens daily patrols and preparedness to protect orangutans before crises arise.
In peatland ecosystems, wildfire response success is decided long before the first hotspot appears. The Village Fire Team (RPK) stays prepared through equipment checks and routine simulations to protect vital peat forests.
Facing a strong El Niño in 2026, the BOS Foundation uses lessons from the 2015 wildfires to protect orangutans. By enhancing early detection and community firefighting, it works to safeguard habitats against drought and fire risks.
