Breaking News: Stolen Orangutans Finally Returned

November 21, 2006

BOS UK is pleased to announce that 48 of the smuggled orangutans in Thailand

are on their way back to the forest of their birth as you read this. We have

worked long and hard for this result and couldn’t have achieved it without you,

our supporters. Thanks also to the many NGO’s who also contributed to the

campaign, especially Nature Alert.

Sadly, the orangutans’ delayed return comes at a time when the BOS Nyaru

Menteng Rescue Centre struggles with an unanticipated deluge of rescued

orangutans as a result of the recent fires that raged through the region. Until

we can release wild orangutans into the release site which awaits documentation

from the authorities before we can go ahead, the centre is again at capacity.

The additional strain to the limited budget of the project also means many more

funds need to be found to care for these new arrivals which bring the number of

orangutans cared for at the centre to almost 600!

Tune into the news tonight and tomorrow to find out more, or visit the links

below to read stories in the press. If you want to help the orangutans, please

Thank you again for your continued support.
