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.
The BOS Foundation’s Samboja Lestari Orangutan Reintroduction Program safeguards seven manmade islands in East Kalimantan, where rehabilitated orangutans are able to live a safe and peaceful life in a semi-wild outdoor environment.
It has been seven months since the last orangutan release, and I feel so lucky because I now get to see my baby boy with his mother in the forest at Batikap.
The PRM team in Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest, Central Kalimantan were observing two mother-infant units: Jambi and Jamartin, and Sumeh, Gembira and Sawung separately when the two groups accidently met up.
When I arrived at Totat-Jalu Camp in Batikap with Coral, one of the post-release monitors (PRM), we received an update from Svenja and Nick also on the PRM team, and Purnomo, the Camp Coordinator,
To ensure that the released orangutans are adapting well, the PRM (Post-Release Monitoring) team is regularly observing and collecting data on their behavior and assessing how they have adapted to their new life and habitat.
