The Problem
There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia.  The primary threat is the loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and Malaysia having been lost in the past 20 years. Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade
and poaching.

She is the only known #albino #orangutan—beautiful Alba. Today is her rescue #anniversary!
Alba was just five years old when BOS rescued her from captivity in 2017 and brought her to the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where she spent nearly two years under our care.
Although she is susceptible to various health conditions—such as poor vision, hearing issues, and sensitivity to light—Alba demonstrated excellent climbing and socialisation skills.
Thanks to her impressive progress, the BOS Foundation team released her into the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park in December 2018. Since then, she has been thriving in her natural #rainforest habitat.

Today, we commemorate the 55th anniversary of #EarthDay. The theme for this year is "Our Power, Our Planet," which emphasises renewable energy and climate action.
At BOS, we are actively implementing renewable energy projects at our centres, such as the solar power plant at Samboja Lestari. This initiative reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions.
Furthermore, we are focused on reforesting degraded land to create new habitats for #orangutans and other wildlife while mitigating climate change.
#StrongerTogether, we can all contribute to #protecting our beautiful planet and all its inhabitants.
