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.

One of our all-time classics, and a great way to start the new week - Mud #yoga with #orangutan Yutris while he was still in #OrangutanJungleSchool.
Yutris was only 7 months old when he was rescued in 2015. He was reportedly found by bird hunters, alone and without his mother, and was illegally kept as a pet before being surrendered to BOS.
Since February 2024, Yutris is enjoying life on Bangamat pre-release island.
