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.

I’ve just watched a news artical on 9News about a baby Orangutan who has been born by C Section in an American zoo (destined to a life in captivity). Why is this reaching our National news when all the wonderful work that Australian BOS does in Borneo, training and releasing Orangutans in the wild, not getting onto our National news? 😩
Yes that was what we were told at the Orang center near on our visit to Borneo👍
this one is handsome, like his beard!
👀’s like he could 🍺😃
A very handsome fellow.
Did you know we also care for 75 #sunbears at Samboja Lestari? Beautiful Fleur (photo) is one of them.
The sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is the smallest of the eight bear species in the world. Sadly, they face numerous threats, like #orangutans.
If you join one of our Orangutan Enrichment Volunteer Tours in #borneo, you will also prepare enrichment items for these #cute bears—another reason to #booktoday! We have multiple start dates available.

It is a well-known fact that nearly 70% of the Borneo rainforest has been explored by humans not by their feet, but rather by chainsaws. It is difficult to fathom that a mere 30% of virgin forest is now capable of accommodating the vast array of jungle species. Despite the relevant authorities' constant call to "SAVE OUR JUNGLE," it is quite disconcerting to see that white-collar logging entrepreneurs stand behind their backs.
