RAINFOREST for SAMBOJA LESTARI

The BOS Foundation

The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) is the largest organisation worldwide fighting against the extinction of orangutans. Their habitat, the rainforest with its biological diversity, is being protected in collaboration with the local people. BOS is an Indonesian not-for-profit foundation, founded in 1991. The main aspects of BOS work in Indonesia are the following: Confiscation of illegally kept orangutans, Malaysian bears and other species Rehabilitation of orangutans in stations Release of animals into protected rainforest areas Rescue and relocation of endangered orangutans and other species Forestation and protection of the rainforest Creation of alternatives for the local people Ecological education of the local people Monitoring of protected areas Analysis of satellite photos and many more. The projects run by BOS are mainly sponsored by foreign donors due to the difficult economic situation of Indonesia.
