Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation

Our orangutans need around the clock care and our caregivers must act as surrogate mothers for the orphans in need. Now, we are asking for your urgent support in these uncertain times.

Our forest school students – robbed of their mother’s guidance – must learn the skills they need to survive on their own in the formidable jungles of Borneo.

We will never be able to return to them the mothers they lost, but our dedicated team of caregivers does everything in their power to emulate the loving, guiding hand of an orangutan mother. Spending hours in forest school every day, they teach essential forest skills like nest-building and foraging.

This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down. 

We’re now facing one of the biggest challenges in our history: Caring for almost 450 orangutans while also bearing costs associated with regular health checks for our staff and other additional measures to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak. This where you come in. 

We are confident that despite the new challenges posed by the pandemic, if you stand with us, we can weather this storm together. We are asking for your support to help us ensure that the care of the orangutans dependent on us goes uninterrupted during this pandemic.

As an ape lover, will you consider making a gift to help give our orangutans all the support and care they not only need, but deserve? 

DONATE NOW

Please give what you can before the deadline to help meet our $20,000 goal, 100% of which will support our orangutan care and conservation activities in East and Central Kalimantan. 

From all of us here at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, thank you.
