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.
Our Post Release Monitoring (PRM) team in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya (BBBR) National Park in Central Kalimantan has the huge responsibility of conducting daily observations on the 10 orangutans that were released last month.
Fire, encroachment, and the clearing of land for agricultural use are the biggest threats to Borneo’s forests and the wildlife that inhabits them.
On a chilly August morning in the Kehje Sewen Forest, three of our PRM team members from Camp Nles Mamse (Rizal, Yosi and Luy) set out to conduct nest-to-nest observations on Angely, a female orangutan the BOS Foundation released in May.
On August 22, a fire broke out in Batampang village in Central Kalimantan, affecting the Mawas Conservation Program area. Around five hectares was scorched in the remote location, which is difficult to reach.
The survival of Bornean orangutans is continually under threat due to habitat destruction and hunting for the illegal pet trade.
