BOS Canada helps conservation projects working to protect orangutan forest habitat in Borneo and Sumatra and to stop the destructive impact of logging, clearing, and other development. Projects also fight poaching and help communities develop less destructive ways to gain income.

BOS Canada supports reintroduction projects that help rescue orangutans illegally held captive, restore their health, and help them develop the skills they need to resume independent forest life. Only after extensive acre and retraining are ex-captives returned to free forest life.

WILLS & BEQUESTS
It's not something anyone really wants to think about, but when it comes time to plan your estate consider a bequest to BOS Canada. It's one of the most effective ways to continue supporting orangutan conservation for years to come.

A properly prepared will is a legal document that will ensure that your wishes are respected.
