SPECIAL CARE UNIT FOR OUR ORANGUTANS IN SAMBOJA LESTARI
Very sadly not all of the orangutans within our rehabilitation centers can be released back to the wild. Orangutans arrive at our centers of all ages and in all kinds of conditions.
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.
Very sadly not all of the orangutans within our rehabilitation centers can be released back to the wild. Orangutans arrive at our centers of all ages and in all kinds of conditions.
As 2015 draws to an end, the BOS Foundation releases 4 orangutans from the East Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program in Samboja Lestari to Kehje Sewen Forest.
Many remember the extremely disturbing story of a female orangutan under our care called Pony, who was rescued from a brothel 14 years ago. We continue to receive regular inquires about Pony, who is still being cared for within our rehabilitation
Thankfully the weather has improved over the past few weeks in East Kalimantan, and our team at the BOS Foundation Orangutan Reintroduction Center-Samboja Lestari was able to start reforestation of the area that was damaged by fire in September.
The recent forest fires and haze have left many young orangutans orphaned and we have already rescued 6 infants in the last few weeks bringing our baby group to 22 orangutans.
