We work in Australia to raise funds and awareness of the orangutan situation. Much of our work is to save the orangutan by rescuing and rehabilitating them, with an ultimate goal of releasing them back to the forest where they will be safe from human development, poaching and farming.

BOSA is a sister organisation of Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation Indonesia (BOSF), a non-profit foundation supported by sister organisations around the world.

Currently BOSF manages the biggest orangutan program in the world and is caring for more than 600 orangutans in East and Central Kalimantan. So far over 370 Orangutans have been returned to the wild. BOSF also manages a peat land conservation area which provides habitat for 3,000 wild orangutans in Central Kalimantan.
