Beni knows exactly how to beat the heat: a fresh watermelon 🍉🦧

Fruit makes up an important part of an orangutan’s diet, providing essential nutrients and energy for their active lives. At our rehabilitation centres, their diet is carefully managed to support their health and development as they prepare for life in the wild.

Before it becomes smoke, a forest is a home 🌳
Before it becomes ash, a forest is a source of life 🌳🌳
And before the fire comes, we still have a chance to prevent it 🌳🌳🌳

More than 48 hectares of peat swamp forest within the BOS Foundation’s Mawas conservation landscape have already been burned and affected 🔥🔥

The fire season is far from over! 👩‍🚒

Wildfire prevention starts long before the dry season peaks. Travelling by klotok, our Village Fire Team (RPK) patrols the waterways of Mantangai to spot early signs of drying land and carry out rewetting. Keeping peat moist is our most effective strategy to prevent fires and protect wildlife habitats.

BOS Foundation’s rehabilitation centres in Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari continue to operate safely despite the fires, though smoke has started to reach Nyaru Menteng. Our young orangutans and all orangutans in our care continue to receive the care and attention they need as we closely monitor the situation. 🦧🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to stand with BOS Foundation. Your support helps us care for our orangutans, support our teams, and continue this important work. We truly couldn’t do it without you 💚
