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 rehabilitationΒ 
they need to return to the wild.

The Problem


There are numerous threats to the viability of the remainingΒ wild orangutan populationΒ in Indonesia and Malaysia.Β Β The primary threat is theΒ loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and MalaysiaΒ 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.

Today is Jelapat's rescue anniversary.

The now 10-year-old was rescued nine years ago after being kept as a pet for months in a tiny cage on the side of a busy road, dressed in baby clothing.

Once in the care of the BOS Foundation, the little male orangutan showed remarkable resilience. Jelapat graduated #forestschoolchool with flying colours, became a star in the award-winning documentary se#OrangutanJungleSchoolchool, and is now on a pre-release islandβ€” just one step away from freedom.
