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.
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.
Camp Nles Mamse, located in the Kehje Sewen Forest, is surrounded by the beauty of nature and its unique flora and fauna.
Soon, the KLHK with BKSDA of East Kalimantan assisted by BOS Foundation will conduct its 25th orangutan release from Samboja Lestari Rehabilitation Center to Kehje Sewen Forest.
