Help us raise $150,000 by June 30
to kick off development of 21 sanctuary islands for un-releasable orangutans.
Of the 409 orangutans currently being cared for at the BOS Foundation centres, 93 are classified as "un-releasable". The reasons vary - some were rescued too late in life, others suffer from illness and then some have severe physical disabilities - like Kopral.
Kept illegally as a pet for most of his young life, at 4 years of age, Kopral attempted a daring escape. After climbing an electricity pole, Kopral was severely electrocuted and left for dead – it truly was a miracle that he survived. When brought to the BOS Foundation, Kopral had severe burns to most of his body and sadly, both his arms had to be amputated.
But Kopral has shown incredible strength and resilience and now, at the age of 16, is living his best life on one of our sanctuary islands. He has freedom and a natural environment to roam, yet can be easily protected and cared for by staff for the rest of his days. But we still have many other "un-releasable orangutans, who also deserve a dignified life, free from a cage.
With your help today, we can start the development of 21 sanctuary islands, as well as expand and update the current long term enclosures for those that require ongoing protection and care.
Please dig deep and donate to provide for those orangutans whose futures were stolen by the actions of man and to give them the highest quality of care for the rest of their lives.
