2007 – 2015: BOS FOUNDATION ORANGUTAN CONSERVATION
December 2007 marked an important milestone in orangutan conservation.
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.
December 2007 marked an important milestone in orangutan conservation.
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.
Towards the end of 2015, BOS Foundation released another four orangutans from the East Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program in Samboja Lestari to Kehje Sewen Forest, with the support of our partner organization, BOS Switzerland.
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.
