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.

515
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
409
Orangutans are being cared for in
our 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.

How wonderful ❤️😎🦧

This World #WildlifeConservationDay, we not only want to raise awareness about the critically endangered Bornean #orangutans but also invite you to help us release more rehabilitated orangutans back into safe forests so they can thrive and contribute towards keeping our red cousins in this world.

Please consider supporting our #Christmas appeal. We want to raise at least $50,000 by 25 December to bring ten more orangutans home.

Climbing is one of the first #skills our little #orphans learn in Forest School.

Several of #bos Foundation's caregivers are trained in tree-climbing and will climb alongside their students to encourage them to spend more time up high.

We have a fantastic Christmas gift idea for you: Nick Foster's book 'Ayumi Girl of the Borneo Forest'.

Author Nik Forster has kindly offered to donate AUD 1.00 for every book sold to our cause.

The beautiful book tells the story of a young Japanese girl who can telepathically communicate with animals. She releases a captured orangutan and sets off a chain of events that finds her living in the forest with a wild orangutan.
