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.

Topan spotted!
The BOS technicians recently observed Topan, one of our adoptable orangutans, living on Bangamat Pre-Release Island.
Or should we say that Topan observed our technicians? The female #orangutan kept a close eye on them as they delivered supplemental food at the feeding platform.
Shortly after their arrival, Topan began her feast with bananas, followed by tempeh, melon and pumpkin, with a notably voracious appetite.
Later, Topan climbed a tree to a height of 1 to 5 meters, carrying bananas, and didn't stop eating until the observation concluded.
