Adopt an Orangutan
For as little as 30 cents a day, you can give these orangutans a future. By choosing to become an adoptive parent of an orangutan you will be helping to ensure that Rickina, Gunung, Elo, Oscarina, Monti, Pingky, Pungky, Neng and Mimi — as well as all the other rescued orangutans being cared for by our partners International Animal Rescue at Ketapang and the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation at Nyaru Menteng — will have everything they need. All prices are in US dollars.
Thank you for your support,

Kesi - graduated
Kesi had her hand chopped off when palm oil plantation workers killed her mother with a machete. Now she is the top pupil in Orangutan Forest School at BOS Nyaru Menteng. Champion tree-climbing and nest-builder, Kesi is an excellent role model for newly arrived orphans.
Lomon - graduated
Lomon spent years chained up in a wooden box, and when he was rescued, he weighed only 1/3 of what he should have. Due in no small part to the love and attention lavished upon him by his caretakers at BOS Nyaru Menteng, Lomon has now gained not only the weight he needed, but also his self-confidence.
Fio - graduated
Fio had a tragic start to life. The attempt to rescue her and her mother was only a partial success. Fio’s mother did not survive, but fortunately we were able to give Fio another chance. She gets a ton of love and support from her babysitters at BOS Nyaru Menteng and she is gaining the confidence she needs to become an independent orangutan.
Grendon - graduated
Grendon, the star of the BBC's first Orangutan Diary series, steals everyone's heart. Looking remarkably like a Simpsons character, Grendon is a simply delightful little orangutan who loves to joke around with his friends. He's popular with staff and orangutans alike at BOS Nyaru Menteng.
Dodo - graduated
Dodo was brought to BOS Wanariset-Samboja Lestari by Indonesian forestry officials when he was less than a year old. His mother, like so many others, had been killed when a palm oil company clearcut their forest home and converted it into an oil palm plantation. He is now in the baby group at Samboja Lestari.
