 As the financial year draws to an end we would like you to join us in a new beginning.
It’s a journey into the wilds of Borneo travelling with very special companions who share 98.5% of their DNA with you.
We are immensely proud to have achieved a major objective – providing independence for rescued and orphaned orangutans in the tranquillity and safety of their natural jungle habitat.
With your help we can achieve this journey to freedom for 10 more primates, all gloriously individual. Just like you!
The complexities behind this relocation programme are substantial. Many of these beautiful primates, like 21-year old Mama Tata and her child have spent years in our sanctuaries being cared for and rehabilitated before set free in their natural environment.
This journey for each orangutan encompasses a “ticket price” of $9,450. So at BOS in Australia, we are determined to raise $94,500 to provide freedom for another 10 orangutans this year.
In making your plans for the closing financial year we urge you to consider the tax effective advantages as well as the very real environmental gains your donation can share with these intelligent and
serene jungle apes.
Your donation is important and goes directly to BOS Indonesia to help bring this noble yet endangered species back from the brink and on a path to freedom.

‘There really is no place like home. This is the moment we’ve been working towards - the first four ex-captive orangutans are going home’ said Tony Gilding, President of BOS Australia (BOSA) – a sister organisation to Indonesia. ‘It’s been 10 years in the making, and this is just the beginning.
We still have over 800 orangutans in our care that all need eventual release. Tomorrow’s historic event gives us confidence and hope to set more free.’
