CANDIDATE PROFILES OF SAMBOJA LESTARI’S 7TH RELEASE
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.
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.
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.
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.
On two consecutive days in August the BOS Foundation Nyaru Menteng team successfully released orangutans once again into the Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest, Central Kalimantan.
To support our orangutan reintrodution program in East Kalimantan, the BOS Foundation and PT RHOI built a new camp in the southern part of Kehje Sewen Forest to ensure we can properly monitor the newly reintroduced orangutans in this area.
