One year-long sponsorship for Miko

We are supporting the great work of the BOS Foundation to save the lives of the last orangutans on earth. By buying these beautiful photos you can help too!

Miko didn’t even reach his first year of age, when he was being confiscated in a village near Sebangau national park in Kalimantan (Indonesia). The nature conservation authority had received information about an illegally held orangutan. Mikos wounds on hands and feet were being treated and thanks to infusions he soon got better. At BOS, human foster mothers supervise orangutans like Miko around the clock. Intensive care and loving support is very important for young orangutan like Miko because in nature, baby orangutan live very close to their mother until the age of eight.

With your support Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) undertakes a one year-long sponsorship for orangutan orphan Miko in one of BOS’s rehabilitation wards. The sponsorship of 120 Euro helps to finance the wards, which take care of wounded and displaced orangutans. There, they can get medical treatment and care. Especially orphaned baby orangutan have to learn all the skills needed to survive in the rainforest in freedom, before their reintroduction to the wild.

Within the last three years, Miko has developed into a confident and content orangutan who loves to take a nap several times a day. That’s what a happy orangutan looks like!
