Orangutan Conservation

These intelligent primates play a key role in seed dispersal, contributing to forest regeneration. By protecting orangutans, we also preserve the rich biodiversity of their habitats, ensuring the health of our planet.

“We chose to leave a legacy to BOS because of the desperate situation these beautiful animals, so closely related to human beings, find themselves in. BOS does outstanding work in rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans and providing them, and other endangered species, with safe habitats for their ongoing care and eventual return to the wild – a wonderful charity to support!”
