  • #OrangutanFreedom! 👏🧡 Rehabilitated orangutans, Batola, Paduran, and Unyu have been released within the Hiran Watershed region of the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park! 🌳 This release was attended by the Director of Biodiversity Conservation of the Directorate-General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, who also inaugurated the new orangutan monitoring camp. The camp was given the name ‘Lewun Kahio’, which means ‘Orangutan Home Village’ in local Dayak language. #OrangutanJungleSchool

  • Three more orphaned orangutans who were previously illegaly held as #pets are going back to the forest! 👏🌳 Batola was rescued in 2007, when he was five years old. Unyu was rescued in February 2017, he was 3 years old and still exhibited wild behaviour and a dislike of humans. As a result, he didn't attend #OrangutanJungleSchool, but instead was housed with similar individuals, Alba, Radmala, Kika, and Pujon. Paduran was just 18 months old when she was rescued in 2009. 😢 Soon these three individuals will join the other rehabilitated orangutans now living free the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park! #NotAPet

  • We have another photo of the latest rescued orphan for you. He's currently in quarantine pending medical tests, but having received intensive care by the medics he looks better. 😷 Like so many of the babies at #OrangutanJungleSchool, this 1 year old was alledgedly 'found alone'. The recent fires have deprived orangutans of even more of their habitat, driving them to seek food in farms and villages which inevitably leads to conflict with humans and, tragically, this is the result. 😠 😢 Orangutans should never be forced to live with or perform for humans. #NotAPet

  • This curious looking and endearing creature is a Pangolin, the world's only scaled mammal and the most trafficked. Shy, nocturnal and defenceless, they are being poached to extinction for traditional Chinese and Vietnamese 'medicine' and the cooking pot. Pangolin scales are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and finger nails and despite having no proven medicinal benefits, are touted to cure everything from cancer to a hangover. The Sunda pangolin is found in Indonesia and they share the orangutan's habitat, so those within BOSF's protected forests are afforded some desperately needed protection. By protecting the forests for orangutans, a plethora of other species benefit too, and aside from being allowed the right to live their lives in peace, each is essential to a healthy ecosystem. #WorldPangolinDay #WildlifeTrade #OrganisedCrime #Extinction

  • *Breaking news* Baby Orangutan Rescue BOS and the Central Kalimantan Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) recently collected a 1-year-old male infant who was said to have been found 'stranded alone' near a farm and was kept by a farmer for about a month. As usual, there was no information on the baby’s mother. 😠 When rescued, he was weak and had a high temperature, and he is still receiving intensive care from our team of medics and surrogate mothers. Underweight at only 3.3 kilograms, he faces at least two months of quarantine before he can join the nursery group. 😷 This poor baby has been deprived of the chance to grow up with his mother and faces many years of rehabilitation at #OrangutanJungleSchool. Thankfully, BOS are here to give him a second chance to live as every orangutan should, #wild and #free in the #forest.  #Orangutans should never be forced to live with or perform for humans. #NotAPet #CriticallyEndangered
