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.

533
Orangutans have been released
back to their home.
355
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 rehabilitation 
they need to return to the wild.

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.

The BOS team recently observed beautiful Koko enjoying a meal and generously sharing it with a curious macaque at the feeding platform.

Koko is one of our unreleasable #orangutans residing on BOS Foundation's lar#sanctuaryislandsland, Badak Kecil. The island spans 105 hectares and offers a natural environment as close to the wild as possible.

In line with this year's theme for #OrangutanCaringWeek—"Orangutans Leading The Way: One Planet, One Future"—we are releasing six more rehabilitated #orangutans into their natural habitat.

Orangutans are a keystone species, playing a vital role in maintaining healthy forests that benefit a plethora of other species, including humans.

Through our #conservation efforts, we work to protect the survival of these incredible #GreatApes—and you can help as well by supporting our mission.

#StrongerTogether, we can ensure a future for orangutans, which in turn benefits us all!
