BOS Canada is an independent, non-profit organization that was founded to support orangutan conservation and to raise awareness of the serious threats to orangutan survival.
We are operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, and we strive to keep administrative costs to a bare minimum to ensure that your donations reach the projects in the field where they belong.
BOS Canada is dedicated to protecting wild and rehabilitant orangutans and their native habitat.
Our formation was inspired by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation in Indonesia, which was established in 1991 by Dr. Willie Smits in the city of Balikpapan, East Indonesian Borneo, to support an orangutan reintroduction project. We maintain a close and supportive relationship with BOS Indonesia and with other BOS affiliates worldwide.
Our Activities: Awareness, Education, Fundraising
BOS Canada promotes conservation educational programs and awareness campaigns in Malaysia, Indonesia and in Canada.
Where Your Donations Go:
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.
