• It's been 4 months now since both orangutan rehabilitation centres were closed to visitors due to the global #COVID-19 pandemic. 😒 We feel it's important to show you what life now looks like at #OrangutanJungleSchool, and how your generous donations have helped continue operations. πŸ˜·πŸ’‰πŸ₯½πŸ’Š In addition to applying stricter health protocols and adjusting daily standard operating procedures, the number of staff who are able to interact directly with the orangutans has also been limited. Rapid tests have been conducted on personnel at both #rehabilitation #centres, and thankfully, thus far, all test results indicate that none of our field staff members have been exposed to the coronavirus. You can help save #orangutans from your home by sponsoring a student through school, sharing posts or donating. As always, a huge thank you for your support 🧑🦧

  • In troubled times, it's good to have a shoulder to lean on. 🧑 Close friendships formed by rescued orphans help them recover from the traumatic loss of their mothers, offering reassurance and inspiring confidence and trust. Orangutans should never be forced to live with humans. #OrangutanJungleSchool #Friendship #Love #Hope #ForestFreedom #NotAPet

  • Kopral & Shelton are two very special orangutans who require extra love and care, because due to their disabilities caused by horrible tragedies, neither can be released back into the wild. 🌳 Β In DecemberΒ 2009, aged 4 years old, Kopral escaped the cage where he was being kept as a pet, climbed a telegraph pole and was electrocuted when he grabbed hold of the live wires. The injuries he had sustained were horrific, and the Veterinary Team had no choice but to amputate both of Kopral's arms. Incredibly, within 4 months Kopral was at Forest School, his love of life and sheer determination to keep calm and carry on, astonishing and inspiring the all the BOSF staff. Kopral has exceeded all hopes and expectations and now he is a cheerful, independent individual whose resilience, nest making skills and 'can do' attitude to life make him a role model to his peers. 🧑 In JanuaryΒ 2012, 6-year-old Shelton arrived at Samboja Lestari. He had wandered into a village searching for food and had been beaten, shot, which blinded him, and then left for dead in an area of forest. The physical and psychological trauma he had suffered at the hands of humans made his recovery unimaginably hard but, once again, the love and expertise of the Samboja Lestari team turned his life around. And then Kopral and Shelton found each other, kindred spirits who are now best friends. There is so much that can be learned from Kopral and Shelton and the potential that lies in each one of us. πŸ§‘πŸ’š To virtually adopt Kopral and Shelton, please go to our website in our bio πŸ–• Please note that due to COVID19, we are currently only issuing e-certificates οΏΌ

  • Did you know that although equatorial Rainforests comprise only 6-7% of the world's surface, they are home to at least 50% of all animal and plant species? πŸ¦§πŸ΅πŸ—πŸ¦ŽπŸπŸƒπŸ†πŸ¦‡ Orangutans are essential to the health of the rainforest, as the seeds from the fruit they eat pass intact through their digestive system, making them top seed dispersers. Also, as sunlight reaches only 5% of the rainforest floor, as orangutans traverse the forest, they create breaks in the canopy giving the seeds they have dispersed a chance to germinate and grow. 🌱 🌳 Rainforests are also essential in mitigating climate change, as the trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow through the process of photosynthesis, converting it into the oxygen we all need to live. πŸŒ¨οΈβ˜€οΈ By protecting rainforests, we’re saving orangutans, and ultimately, ourselves!
