Galaksi, once a tiny and fragile orangutan at BOS Samboja Lestari’s Rehabilitation Center, has blossomed into a lively and spirited youngster. Since he arrived in 2021, Galaksi has been under the careful watch of our dedicated surrogate mothers at the baby house, where he has flourished.
One of the most noticeable changes in Galaksi’s life has been his physical transformation. After three years in the baby house, his weight has increased significantly, from 5 lbs. to 22 lbs. This growth is a testament to the excellent care and nutritious diet provided by our surrogate mothers and the animal welfare team at the rehabilitation centre.

Despite his small size compared to his peers, Galaksi has proven that size is not a limitation when it comes to his skills and abilities. He has developed into a clever and agile orangutan, delighting in the freedom of the forest. Galaksi is no longer the solitary individual he once was; he now relishes the company of his peers, especially enjoying playtime with Baimah, Otan, and Feruza.

One of Galaksi’s remarkable feats is his climbing ability. He has shown incredible agility, scaling trees to heights of up to 5 meters. This impressive skill demonstrates his confidence and comfort in his natural habitat.
Galaksi is now part of the nursery group at Forest School, where he continues to thrive. He has a particular fondness for fruit and milk, relishing every last drop. His playful nature and adventurous spirit make him a joy to watch as he explores the forest and interacts with his fellow orangutans.
As Galaksi continues to grow and develop, there is hope that he will soon be promoted to the higher levels of the forest school. With his determination and zest for life, there is no doubt that Galaksi will continue to impress and inspire all who have the privilege of knowing him. Go Galaksi, Go!
