By means of a unique reforestation concept Borneo Orangutan Survival is creating a sanctuary for orangutans, sunbears and other endangered species on Borneo -maybe the last one.
Deforestation is taking place in Borneo at an ever accelerating pace. The main reason for such excessive deforestation are palm oil plantations that have now replaced many ancient forest areas. If the current rate of deforestation continues, many species will perish, some even before we had the chance to study them. Forests are not only important because of different species that use them as their habitats, but also because of CO2 absorption which is vital in fight against global warming.
Orangutans are not only our closest relatives in the animal kingdom; they are also indispensable for the biological diversity of the rainforest due to their role of seed distributors. They are the so called umbrella species. The protection of these fascinating great apes serves at the same time to preserve the rainforest's eco system.
During the last decades the once species-rich rainforest of Samboja Lestari was cleared and burnt down relentlessly. Nutrient-consuming elephant grass took over completely. What remained was an ecological waste land. Nowadays it is already visible that this doesn't have to stay - since 2001 BOS is creating new rainforest. An innovative concept of reforestation and protection is changing this area into a natural habitat again.
Please help create the rainforest!
