Bumi
Bumi arrived at our Nyaru Menteng Centre on 18 June 2016 after he was rescued from Tumbang Koling village by the Central Kalimantan Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) and the Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP).
The tiny baby boy was so incredibly weak that he could not even open his eyes. We believe that he was violently separated from his mother shortly after his birth.
Even though we can never replace his mother, we will do everything possible to bring him back home to the wild.
Bumi already made great progress in Forest School and has grown into an active juvenile who loves to play and actively hone his skills both in Forest School and on the playground. When it is time for the orangutans to prepare for their afternoon nap, Bumi prefers to explore the forest some more and forage for fruits.
With your support, Bumi can continue to learn how to survive on his own and return to the Bornean rainforest where he belongs.
We have many other babies that need your help – Meet our family here!
