Nyaru Menteng Rescue Center is moving

Help Create the Future of Orangutan Rehabilitation and Release

As seen on

All Donations DOUBLED!*

It’s almost moving day for the orangutans and they need your support. Will you help build their new home and forest school?

The problem:

The BOSF work has outgrown the facilities at Nyaru Menteng, which are outdated and showing visible signs of decades of wear and tear. Further, the land at Nyaru Menteng is not owned by the BOS Foundation.

The solution:

The only option is to move the facility, so we are now building Nyaru Menteng II! This unique opportunity allows us to redesign every element of the centre with our gained knowledge and experience to better serve the orangutans in our care.

But we need your support to build the new facilities our orangutans and staff need. And thanks to a generous donor, donations made through the end of the year will be matched* to double* your gift’s impact.

All donations matched* through the end of the year

All donations will be doubled* to build the orangutans’ new home. Your gift today will make double* the impact to build a new home for forest school students.

YOU can make a difference for orangutans today. Be the reason they get their new home.

Why we are building Nyaru Menteng II:

L

BOSF now owns the new 43-acre plot

The new site is much larger in size and owned, operated, and completely managed by BOSF. As the land is fully in the control of BOSF, it allows for future expansion and ensures the safe, ongoing care of the orangutans, giving a permanent and secure home to the center.

L

Brand-new facilities

Years of use – as well as updates and innovations we want to incorporate – mean a need for new facilities at Nyaru Menteng II. The orangutans and staff will benefit from new, state-of-the-art buildings and equipment, including a new veterinary clinic and an all-new forest school.

L

Better serve orangutans in our care

New buildings and updated amenities will provide the orangutans with top-of-the-line care and the best, most impactful experiences to help them complete their journey back to the wild.

L

Further educate on orangutan conservation

Conservation only grows through the education of others, and with our new facilities and hospitality amenities we can better host partners and visitors to increase awareness of orangutan conservation.

L

Create a rainforest habitat stronghold against growing encroachment

With BOSF fully owning this larger tract of remote land, located farther from human development, we can ensure a forested safe haven that will remain protected for decades to come.

With your support, orangutans in our care can benefit from these imperative upgrades

WHAT WE’RE BUILDING

A New Forest School

This is a rare opportunity to fully upgrade the orangutans’ school! As seen on Orangutan Jungle School, this is where the orangutans spend most of their time. The new facility will benefit from our years of experience, improving all aspects of their safety, care, and training to reinforce their arboreal (living in the trees) lifestyle. It will set a new gold standard for helping orphaned orangutans on their journey without a biological mother to ensure their best chance for a life back in the wild.

Expanded Sanctuary Islands

For phase 1, we’re building six new sanctuary islands at Nyaru Menteng II so that unreleasable orangutans can still have a high quality of life, free from a cage, in a semi-controlled environment as close to a natural existence as possible. More islands will follow once these are built to get every orangutan that can live on an island out of a cage and in a forested home.

Enhanced Medical Care

Orangutans suffer illnesses and injuries like humans, and their welfare is a top concern. Our veterinarian team will be well-equipped at the new medical facility with an orangutan clinic, an isolation building for rehabilitated orangutans and new rescues, and a microbiology lab. These facilities will ensure we provide the highest level of veterinary care.

Education Through Hospitality

We’re building a place to welcome professional partners, special visitors, and volunteers assisting and supporting the cause. With proper shelter and facilities, our conservation guests can maximize their time at Nyaru Menteng II.

Solar-Powered Sustainability

The site is so remote that there is limited power from the grid, so clean solar energy is the best way to give us the power we need to operate. This also aligns with our commitment to sustainability. by powering the center with clean energy for years to come as well as contributing to the global shift towards renewable resources.
