  • From a wheelbarrow to the forest via truck, helicopter, and #OrangutanWarrior power, here are some photos from the 29th September release when 8 more orangutans were released into the Bukit Batikap Protection Forest! Now the post-release monitoring team take over, checking on each individual's progress every day for the next month! Good luck and thank you! #Rescue #Rehabilitate #Release #OrangutanFreedom #CriticallyEndangered #NotAPet #Borneo

  • Learning what's safe to eat and what's not is essential if the orphans are to be released back to the wild, as seen here at a botany lesson for Jumbo and friends in #OrangutanJungleSchool. 🎓🌱 Orangutans should never be forced to live with or perform for humans. #NotAPet #Rescue #Rehabilitate #Release #OrangutanFreedom

  • Thanks to everyone who donated on Giving Day for Apes, BOS exceeded their fundraising goal and so Jubaedah, Jubaedi, now recovered from their ordeal, and mature cheek padder Titon will soon be going back to the wild! 👏🎉🌳 Pics; Jubaedah & Jubaedi at the time of their rescue and handsome Titon 💕 Habitat loss is forcing starving orangutans to venture into villages and plantations in search of food, almost always leading to human conflict. BOSF's outreach programmes engage with local people and thankfully, they are reporting orangutan sightings so that rescue missions can be initiated. Protecting remaining orangutan habitat is crucial, and that's why we are actively seeking to acquire new forests, both to protect wild populations and enable the release of the orangutans awaiting their turn to go home. #OrangutanFreedom #EmptyTheCages #SaveTheOrangutan #CriticallyEndangered #CompassionateConservation
