You’ll see orphaned orangutans learn skills that will enable them to live once again in the wild. These precious orangutans have been taken away from their mothers to be sold or kept as pets, and were then thankfully rescued from this life by BOS Foundation.

The incredible teams at the BOS Foundation are giving these precious apes a second chance at life in the wild.

This wonderful series has it all: friendship, romance, bullies, danger, drama, fear, humor, rescues, reunions, medical emergencies, and escape escapades. Through it all the precious orangutans are learning valuable lessons that will serve them well when they reach the ultimate goal: release back to their wild rainforest home!

Meet Beni!

The world fell in love with Big Boy Beni, the orangutan always full of antics, when he was introduced on Orangutan Jungle School. Audiences smiles as Beni played jokes on his friends. They sympathized as he suffered through a diet and begged for milk. Everyone rooted for Beni when he found a mountain of bananas! Well-wishes poured in from around the world if Beni was sick and when he was recovering from a broken leg. Yes, EVERYONE LOVES BENI!
Check out lots of photos, learn more about this wonderful boy.... and support his care!

Meet Topan!

Topan was rescued on October 13, 2017. She was confiscated from a local village by forestry authorities and brought to the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation's Nyaru Menteng facility. She arrived in a very weak state suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition, and weighed only three and a half pounds. As is often the case, villagers claimed to have found Topan alone by a river bank. This is difficult to believe since a mother orangutan would never willingly abandon her infant. With excellent medical care in the BOS Foundation intensive care unit, Topan's condition improved, and she was soon able to join other babies in the BOS Baby House.

Meet Monita!

In June 2018, the BOS Nyaru Menteng rescue team joined forces with local authorities to rescue a baby orangutan who was being held illegally in a small village. A man claimed to have found the baby stranded alone in a forested area near a palm-oil plantation and he had decided to take her home. During her captivity, she was treated like a human baby. She was bathed and dressed in clothing. To be clear, a mother orangutan will NEVER abandon her baby, so there is likely far more to this story than we were being told. Fortunately, the baby had not sustained any injuries and was in good physical health. The medical team gave her a name as beautiful as she is: Monita.

Meet Bumi!

On June 18, 2016, a baby boy arrived at BOS Nyaru Menteng and was given the name Bumi (meaning ‘Earth’ in Indonesian). He was in very poor health, noticeably weak and shivering. The rescue team initially estimated Bumi's age at around two months. However, after a more thorough examination, they discovered that he had a fresh wound on his belly button from his umbilical cord, indicating that he was actually a new-born less than two weeks old. The veterinarian prescribed a course of antibiotics to prevent infection in the wound and aid the healing process, but poor Bumi was so incredibly weak that he could not even open his eyelids. We believe that he was violently separated from his mother shortly after his birth...
