Reintroduction of Ex-captive Orangutans into the Bukit Batikap Protection Forest, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia Since 2012, Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF) has translocated rescued orangutans from the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre into primary rainforest habitat in Borneo, with many food trees, no existing orangutan population, and few people. Estimated survival rates are at 72-91%, with deaths accounting for 9% of all releases and at least eight wild births recorded. The orangutans released to-date are thriving. The goal is to successfully release 48 orangutans into the wild, to strengthen a newly-created, viable wild population of orangutans. This will be achieved by, (1) preparing the orangutans for reintroduction by assessing their behavior skills, conducting health-tests, and fitting them with a radio-tracking transmitter; (2) transporting the apes overland to the release site; (3) releasing the orangutans in pre-determined locations and intensively following them for the first few days post-release; and, (4) monitoring the adaptation of the orangutans by a dedicated team from an in-situ monitoring camp, with the ability to intervene in case of poor-health. All of these activities will be done alongside a long-running community engagement and habitat protection program.
