Our Vision


Our vision is a world where orangutans are free from the threat of extinction and can live in the wild, unharmed by humans.

533
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
355
Orangutans are being cared for in
our two sanctuaries.

Adopt an orphaned orangutan

Orangutans are on the brink of extinction. Help provide the care and rehabilitation 
they need to return to the wild.

The Problem


There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia.  The primary threat is the loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and Malaysia having been lost in the past 20 years. Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade and poaching.

Did you know young #orangutans love to #wrestle?

It’s not just #fun—it helps them get stronger, improve their motor skills, and learn to socialize.

It’s like a natural gym session and a bonding activity all in one!

We #urgently need your #help to build five new #sanctuaryislands for our unreleasable orangutans, who are otherwise confined to cages.

bit.ly/Five-More-Islands
(or link in bio)

Why the urgency? We must relocate our Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre because the well-being of our #orangutans at the current site is at risk due to increased human activities in the area.

As you can imagine, moving an entire centre is a massive undertaking, and constructing new facilities is a financial burden we cannot bear alone.

That's why we ask you to pl#helpuselpUs this Holiday season to raise $50,000 by 25th December, so we can provide those orangutans who can never return to their true wild home with a happy and species-appropriate life on a Sanctuary Isla#donatetodayToday: bit.ly/Five-More-Islands

You can also #TaxDeductibletible donations by PayPal (bit.ly/BOSA-PayPal) or Bank Deposit (Westpac Bank, BSB: 033 112, Account name: Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Australia Incorporated, Account number: 2443#thankyounkYou!

#fridayfun with Franky!

#orangutan Franky is enjoying his freedom in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park.

The Post-Release-Monitoring Team spotted him happily digging a small well by the riverbank. This activity is not only great for sensory stimulation, but playing with sand is also incredibly calming and satisfying!

Unfortunately, not all #orangutans in our care can return to their true wild home like Franky. However, they can still live happy and fulfilled lives.

#staytuned to learn how you can #help our unreleasable orangutans this upcoming #holidayseason!

Awww he is just gorgeous I love orangutans please keep all God's creatures protected from harm 💜

Although BOS aims to rehabilitate every #orangutan for a return to the wild, sometimes that sadly is not possible.

Currently, we care for 128 orangutans who we can't release back into t#rainforestorest homes for various reasons. Some have suffered severe injuries, others have chronic illnesses, some are too old, and some simply cannot learn the survival skills needed to survive in the wild.

The good news is these unreleasable orangutans can still live happy and fulfilling lives on specially desi#sanctuaryislandslands while receiving the necessary treatment and car#SaveOrangutansu#conservationation
