Programmes, as published on its website

  • Orangutan Reintroduction ↗ — Rescues displaced or illegally kept orangutans, rehabilitates them at Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari through forest school and pre-release islands, then releases them at Bukit Batikap, Bukit Baka Bukit Raya or the Kehje Sewen Forest.
  • Orangutan Ecosystem Conservation ↗ — Restores forest at Samboja Lestari, manages the Kehje Sewen ecosystem restoration concession, and protects the Mawas peatlands through patrols, canal blocking and replanting.
  • Sanctuary Care ↗ — Lifelong care for orangutans that cannot be released, including on sanctuary islands, plus a sun bear sanctuary at Samboja Lestari.
  • Sustainable Community Development & Education ↗ — Works with villages near release sites, Mawas and the rehabilitation centres on reforestation, fire prevention and alternative livelihoods, and runs the 'Orangutan Goes to School' visits.
  • Fight Fires ↗ — A dry-season appeal funding fire patrols, early detection and rapid response across BOS conservation landscapes, including the Mawas peatlands.
