Meet Gracia and the Kids – A Special Bunch
Background Story
There is a special family of wild orangutans that live in Sebangau National Park in Central Kalimantan (Borneo). They are carefully monitored by Borneo Nature Foundation, a wonderful organization that conducts research in the area, and works to protect this important orangutan habitat. The G Family, as they are lovingly called, includes matriarch Gracia, her daughters Georgia and Gretel, her sons Gara and Gabe, and her grandkids!
The G Family today
Gracia is believed to be in her 40s and since 2003 she has time and again shown herself to be an excellent mother. Gracia’s expertise with her babies helped her daughters Georgia and Gretel learn how to be doting mothers. Georgia does a wonderful job with her baby, Gus. Meanwhile, Gretel had her first baby, Gaia, in 2024. Gara is becoming independent, and quite feisty! Gracia’s fourth baby, Gabe, was born in 2023. What a family! Funds from symbolically adopting Gracia and the Kids support the Borneo Nature Foundation’s critical work reforesting an area of Sebangau National Park that was completely devastated in the catastrophic fires of 2015.
