Island Sanctuary for 'Unreleasable' Orangutans
The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS) has finalized plans to convert 655 hectares of estuary in Central Kalimantan into a protected habitat for rehabilitated orangutans.
The move is part of the National Strategy and Action Plan for Orangutan Conservation (2007-2017), which sets a 2015 deadline for the release of orangutans back into the wild. The sanctuary will be located on the 3,419 hectare Salat Nusa Island in the province's Pulang Pisau Regency.
