Taymur

  • Taymur

Taymur arrived at our Nyaru Menteng sanctuary at the age of two, in September 2017.

As a baby, he was illegally smuggled to Kuwait and kept as a pet. Local authorities discovered him, and the Indonesian Embassy, together with the Kuwait Zoo, launched an operation to return him to Borneo. After two months of planning and preparation, BOS Foundation sent one of their most experienced veterinarians to Kuwait to accompany Taymur on his 30-hour-long journey back home.

Today, Taymur is a confident male orangutan who loves to explore and learn all the important skills he needs for his final journey back to the wild. Taymur is one of the stars on the awarded documentary series ‘Orangutan Jungle School‘ on Stan.

How my Adoption Can Help

Safety in our Rehabilitation Centres

Rehabilitation centres are set up to accommodate confiscated or donated pet orangutans. The aim is to guide and teach apes to return to their habitat. Many orangutans have already been successfully returned and released back in the wild.

Dedicated Nannies

Orangutan infants stay with their mother until they are about 6 or 7 years old. The mother teaches them everything about survival in the forest. Orphan orangutans in our care have dedicated nannies who give them the love and teach them important skills to be a wild orangutan.

Critical Vet Care

Unfortunately, Orangutans will come to us critically ill or malnourished. They may also need care from time to time as they grow up and go through Forest School. Our dedicated veterinary team are on hand at both of our rehabilitation centres.

Reintroduction or Translocation into the Wild

When an orangutan has completed their Forest School training, we assess if they are ready to be released back into the wild. Our overriding goal is to reintroduce orangutans back to secure natural habitat. We can only do this with your support.
