Fighting Fire, Saving Orangutans

   

The BOS Foundation is currently caring for more than 700 orangutans within our rescue centers, 3,000 wild orangutans and 180 reintroduced orangutans in natural habitat with the support of 400 highly devoted staff, as well experts in primatology, biodiversity, ecology, forest rehabilitation, agroforestry, community empowerment, education and orangutan healthcare.

Fire Outbreak in Samboja Lestari

Right now our team is fighting a severe fire outbreak in our rescue and rehabilitation center at Samboja
Lestari in East Kalimantan. Overnight 30 hectares of planted forest has been totally destroyed and the fire has moved close to our orangutan facilities. We need your supportto combat this fire and equip our teams to safely manage new outbreaks.

Without exception all BOS Foundation working areas both in East and Central Kalimantan are susceptible to serious fire threats. Equipment and training is urgently needed across all of our programs. Every dry season we face the threat of fire and dealing with it swiftly is critical. Regular patrols are undertaken, and increased significantly during dry months, to detect potential fire risks across the program areas.

More information can be found in the attachment below. Donations made via BOS Australia are tax deductible and 100% of all donations made to this appeal are transferred direct to BOS Foundation.

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.
