Medical Wish-list for Nyaru Menteng 2018

The medical requirements within the BOS rescue and rehabilitation centres are practically as wide-ranging as within human medical services. Can you help us out with a donation of any of the items on the wish list?

Background

The BOS staff are dealing with young orangutans who have lost the natural protection of their mothers’ milk and are living close together in an area of some of the most aggressive tropical diseases.

Orangutans suffer from the same illnesses as us. BOS sees regular cases of malaria, typhoid, typhus, dengue and the full spectrum of colds and flu, let alone the other diseases that can’t be diagnosed but are most definitely present (eg leptospirosis).

The assessments and treatments for these are effectively the same as with human patients.

Please contact us at contact@orangutans.com.au if you have access to any of the following items.

 

How Can You Help

There are lots of ways you can support orangutans and help ensure the survival of this precious ape.

Adopt an Orangutan

Adopt an Orangutan

Orangutans are endangered and at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction results in hundreds of orphaned orangutans, who rely on our care every year. You can help by adopting one. Their dedicated ‘nannies’ teach them everything they need to know for when it’s time to release them back to the wild. You can follow their progress through Forest School.
