The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation is the largest primate
rescue project in the world, with nearly 1000 orangutans in its care.
BOS is the only organisation actively rescuing wild orangutans from
oil-palm plantations, as well as rehabilitating orphaned orangutans,
displaced as a result of the relentless devastation of their habitat
to clear land for palm oil production. BOS is committed to protecting
the orangutan and its rainforest habitat, and relies entirely on
donations to achieve this.
