A mother orangutan will NEVER leave her infant behind and will fight to the death to protect her baby from aggressors. So what really happened? Learn more: redapes.org/rickinaOrangutans are critically endangered in the wild because of rapid deforestation and the expansion of palm oil plantations into their rainforest home. If nothing is done to protect them, they will be extinct in just a few years.

Meryl is proof that when given a second chance at life, orphaned orangutans can thrive! In Nov 2021 Meryl & several of her friends graduated from BOS Nyaru Menteng Forest School and moved to Salat Island where they have begun the final phase of their rehabilitation. While living on the island, they will be isolated from humans except for discreet monitoring from a distance. While on the island hey will receive supplemental food drops as needed, but for the most part they will be on their own— semi-wild— and will be adjusting to the diet of a wild orangutan. They will also be building and sleeping in nests that they construct themselves nightly.

Campaign is a positive way to bring attention to the crisis facing these beautiful red apes by encouraging people to help protect them.Learn more: redapes.org/MOMThis year's M.O.M. banner features lovely Rika and her adopted son, Aben. Baby Aben was rescued and brought into the care of International Animal Rescue (IAR) in December of 2019. At that time, the IAR team was having success pairing orphans with older female orangutans at the center. They felt Aben would benefit greatly from having an orangutan mother. In the Fall of 2020 the IAR team decided on Rika to be the adoptive mother for Aben. The two were put together and the bonding process was very promising. Aben and Rika were often seen hugging affectionately. Aben cried if separated from Rika, and Rika would be angry if Aben was taken from her. It seemed to be love at first sight! This newly formed mother/baby pair moved to a pre-release island on the grounds of the IAR orangutan center. With joy the team observed as Rika became an excellent mother to Aben. Rika will protect Aben and teach him important survival skills. The plan is for the two to be released back into the wild together.Learn more: redapes.org/MOM

Orangutan Survival Skill #10 - Leaf Eating Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence. In order to do that, the staff needs to help the orangutans learn the various life skills that they will need to survive in the wild unaided by humans. These skills are taught directly by the dedicated surrogate mothers and technicians in Forest School. We now present to you 10 of the most important skills they must master! Of the preferred foods for orangutans, leaves are typically not high on the list. However, they are still an important and plentiful food source; especially young leaf shoots that are more tender and nutritious than their mature counterparts. The orangutans in our care pay close attention to their surrogate mothers, who teach them which leaves are safe to eat and where to find them.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS

It is crucial that an orangutan knows how to spot edible rattan and peel away its spiky exterior to reveal the soft pith inside.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS
Orangutan Survival Skill #8 - Invertebrate Eating Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence.

Orangutan Survival Skill #6 - Fruit Eating Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence. In order to do that, the staff needs to help the orangutans learn the various life skills that they will need to survive in the wild unaided by humans. These skills are taught directly by the dedicated surrogate mothers and technicians in Forest School. We now present to you 10 of the most important skills they must master! While orangutans eat a wide variety of forest foods, their preferred food item is fruit! Dependent on season and location, orangutans can feed on hundreds of different species of wild fruits. Thus, it is critical that they can identify what fruits are safe to eat and learn how to open them. Eating whole, soft fruits like wild fig and guava is pretty straight forward, but our Forest School students also need to know how to access fruits with hard exteriors like durian and coconut, which require cracking, peeling, and breaking to reach the pulp and seeds within.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS
Orangutan Survival Skill #5 - Brachiating Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence. In order to do that, the staff needs to help the orangutans learn the various life skills that they will need to survive in the wild unaided by humans. These skills are taught directly by the dedicated surrogate mothers and technicians in Forest School. We now present to you 10 of the most important skills they must master! As the largest arboreal animal on Earth, an orangutan’s weight would restrict their access to many areas and food sources if they only walked on top of branches. In the forest, orangutans swing hand over hand from one branch to another, in a form of locomotion known as brachiating. Being able to move under multiple branches means orangutans can move more freely through the forest. Our Forest School students learn this practical skill from observing and copying one another.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS
Orangutan Survival Skill #4 - Climbing Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence.

These skills are taught directly by the dedicated surrogate mothers and technicians in Forest School. We now present to you 10 of the most important skills they must master! Orphaned orangutans need regular tree-climbing practice to master this essential survival skill. The basis of any sound locomotion skillset for orangutans is the ability to climb up and down tall trees with ease. Several of our caregivers are trained in tree climbing and will climb alongside the orphaned orangutans in their care to encourage them to spend more time in the trees.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS
Orangutan Survival Skill #3 - Tree Swaying Orangutan Outreach ~ redapes.org 2021-03-26 | The BOS Foundation cares for and rehabilitates orangutans at its two centers, Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, with the aim of releasing them back to the forest once they are ready for independence.

These skills are taught directly by the dedicated surrogate mothers and technicians in Forest School. We now present to you 10 of the most important skills they must master! Orangutans often use their own weight to bend the trunks of small trees and branches to propel themselves from tree to tree. This is an important skill to learn in Forest School, as it is a more efficient and safe way to travel than climbing down one tree to the forest floor and up the next.Please help the orangutan by making a donation today! redapes.org/BOS
