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.

539
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
349
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.

Do you remember when Baimah arrived at our centre in September 2022?

Before her rescue, a resident had kept her as a pet for 1.5 years; she was obese and, therefore, struggled to breathe through her nose.

Fast forward to today—look at this happy, curious, and easily breathing #orangutan in the video!

However, the little female still has a long rehabilitation journey ahead of her.

Will you sponsor Baimah and help her on her way to #OrangutanFreedom?

The volunteer will work at the BOS Foundation's sanctuary in Samboja Lestari, East Ka#indonesia#Indonesia.

Room and board are provided, but the volunteer is expected to cover their travel, visa, insurance and medical check-up expenses.
