BOS FOUNDATION’S 9TH ORANGUTAN RELEASE IN KEHJE SEWEN FOREST
We are working tirelessly throughout our 25th anniversary year, and together with the East Kalimantan BKSDA we released five more orangutans to the Kehje Sewen Forest on October 18.
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.

Wild orangutan populations and their habitat have continued to decline in size leading to the IUCN reclassification of Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) to Critically Endangered > http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/17975/0.
When the PRM teams set out each morning on radio tracking patrols aimed at locating orangutans in the Kehje Sewen Forest they cannot always predict who they will find.
When you think of orangutans, an image springs to mind of these magnificent creatures high up in the trees, moving from branch to branch feeding on fruit and resting in treetop nests.
