BORNEO ORANGUTAN SOCIETY CANADA

Borneo Orangutan Society Canada works to protect orangutan habitat and prevent further forest loss in Borneo. The organization purchases land in Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo to create protected reserves where orangutans can live safely, addressing the primary threat to their survival: deforestation for palm oil plantations and logging. By securing forest ecosystems, the society ensures orangutans retain the vast territories they need to forage and survive. The Toronto-based charity also supports local communities in Borneo through education and economic alternatives to forest destruction. Their work directly connects housing for orangutans with the broader goal of preserving one of Earth's most biodiverse rainforests and the thousands of species that depend on it.
