Borneo Orangutan Survival
The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation is an Indonesian non-profit NGO founded by Dr Willie Smits in 1991 and dedicated to the conservation of the endangered Bornean orangutan and its habitat through the involvement of local people. It is audited by a multinational auditor company〔See http://www.sambojalodge.com/AboutBOSFoundation/ – "every year we are audited by Price Waterhouse Coopers (or similar well reputed firm)"〕 and operates under the formal agreement with the Indonesian Ministry of Forest to conserve and rehabilitate orangutans. BOS manages orangutan rescue, rehabilitation and re-introduction programmes in East and Central Kalimantan. With 804 orangutans (per November 2012) in its care and employing between six hundred and a thousand people at a hundred sites〔Thompson 2010, p180〕 BOS is the biggest primate conservation NGO worldwide.
Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari are the BOS sites that have received most extensive media coverage. Nyaru Menteng, founded and run by Lone Drøscher Nielsen, has been the subject of a number of TV series, including ''Orangutan Diary'' and ''Orangutan Island''. Samboja Lestari featured recently in a 2009 TED talk, ''"Willie Smits restores a rainforest"''〔 in which Smits describes how he recreated forest to provide habitat for rescued orangutans.
==History==
In 1989 Dr. Willie Smits, then a forest ecologist, had his first encounter with an orangutan, a sick baby female in a cage, while walking in the market in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. He was struck by "the saddest eyes" he had ever seen and going back later found her on a rubbish heap and took her home. He nursed her back to health and a few weeks later was given another to care for, this time a sick baby male. The number of orangutans in his care grew, and from these beginnings what was initially the "Balikpapan Orangutan Society" came into being in 1991, with the support of fellow researchers at the Tropenbos Kalimantan Program and the schoolchildren of Balikpapan. As its sphere of activity broadened, it was renamed the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation in 1994. Since then it has received increasing recognition in Indonesia and globally, with sister organizations in 11 other countries.
