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 we know, orangutans (Pongo spp.) are arboreal primates. It’s intriguing to explore how their adaptability might extend beyond the treetops, raising the question: Could they also manage to survive in aquatic environments?
One of the repatriated orangutans who was entrusted to our rehabilitation centre is Du. Du is a female orangutan who was successfully repatriated from Thailand to Indonesia in 2006.
Orangutans are arboreal mammals who spend most of their time in treetops. These mammals are known not only as "forest farmers" but also as skilled "forest architects," with exceptional nest-building abilities.
Orangutans, being a species that spends most of their time in the trees, are able to consume a huge variety of foods.
Human population growth and the expansion of development into forest regions has the potential to lead to human-orangutan conflict.
