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.
back to their home.
our two sanctuaries.
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.

This #WildWednesday, let’s check in with one of our pre-release islanders, female #orangutan Mozza.
The BOS Foundation technicians observed her around feeding platform 9 on Kaja Island with her infant.
At the beginning of the observation, Mozza was moving between the trees before descending to a height of 1 to 5 meters, where she sat and closely watched the technicians. She then lay on the feeding platform, breastfeeding and engaging with her child.
Pre-release islands are like universities for our orangutans. After graduating from #OrangutanJungleSchool, they are the next step on their rehabilitation journey.
Only when the #orangutans on the islands prove themselves capable foragers, adept climbers, innovative nest builders, and appropriately weary of humans do the technicians know they are ready to return to their wild forest home.
