t the heart of our activities lies the two orangutan reintroduction centers managed by the BOS Founda- A tion, the Central Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program at Nyaru Menteng and the East Kalimantan Orang- utan Reintroduction Program at Samboja Lestari. Here we ac- commodate orangutans who have been rescued, confiscated, or handed over to us by Natural Resources Authority (BKSDA) and local communities. All of these individuals are a result of habitat loss, fragmentation or hunting, particularly from areas newly cleared for oil palm development. Our two rehabilitation centers are over capacity and by the end of December 2012, our population totaled 806 orangutans.

16 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 17 “In January 2012, our Orangutan Habitat Restoration (RHO) Program together with the team at Samboja Lestari and BKSDA rescued 2 wild orangutans from an oil palm plantation in East Kalimantan. This was an extremely fortunate rescue given the orangutans were literally minutes away from death.”

Orangutan rescue and translocation

In 2012, we successfully conducted several orangutan rescue and translocation missions in Central and East Kalimantan. The team at Nyaru Menteng collaborated with BKSDA Central Kalimantan to conduct rescue missions for 9 orangutans. Eight of these were safely translocated: seven in Sebangau National Park and one was translocated within the rescue area. Sadly we find orangutans in all kinds of conditions and one of our rescued orangutans died from heart related complications.

In January 2012, our Orangutan Habitat Restoration (RHO) Program together with the team at Samboja Lestari and BKSDA rescued 2 wild orangutans from an oil palm plantation in East Kalimantan. This was an extremely fortunate rescue given the orangutans were literally minutes away from death, having been chased through the night and found exhausted and surrounded by youths who were preparing to kill them. Both orangutans were successfully sedated and immediately translocated to our secure area of orangutan habitat in Kehje Sewen Forest.

18 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 19 “Although we have accepted more orangutans this year through confiscation or handovers, this places the BOS Foundation’s existing population under pressure. Our centers are already over capacity.”

20 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 21 Orangutan reintroduction

This year our biggest accomplishment has been undoubtedly been the success within our orangutan reintroduction programs. Following months of detailed planning involving team members of all levels we introduced 50 semi-wild and rehabilitant orangutans to safe, secure natural habitat. This success follows a decade of challenges in securing natural habitat and in 2012 we released 44 orangutans from Nya- ru Menteng and 6 from Samboja Lestari with an ambitious program planned for 2013 and beyond.

This facility offers both isolated enclosures and socialization enclosures and provides quarantine space for 54 individual orangutans. This has allowed us to begin to remove orangutans from our orangutan islands, enable them to complete quarantine and be successfully released. This also means islands which have been emptied of orangutans can be restocked with currently queuing orangutans ready to complete their final part of forest school, be- fore final release. Construction was completed in September 2012 and finally opened officially in October, which is a tremendous result for both our teams and our orangutans.

24 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 25 26 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 27 Post-Release Monitoring and Translocation

Monitoring is vital to ascertain health and behavior of released orangutans. These data are critical to gauge the success of released orangutans and inform our approach to future releases. Monitoring focuses on data collection comprising behavior, demog- raphy, ecology, ranging patterns, nesting, social interactions, reproduction, diet, food selection and availability (phenology), dis- ease and injury to name some of the vari- ables we measure.

The most important variable which determines a successful release is the orangutans’ ability to survive, thrive and reproduce and to measure this we have to directly observe the orangutans at different intervals throughout the year. These data are supplemented with records of when and where each individual’s transmitter signal is recorded and data collected during routine nest surveys. The monitoring teams’ commence data collection the moment each orangutan is released and continue to record regular data on each individual for at least a period of one year. Moni- Table 1.

32 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 33 Management of the orangutan and sun bear conservation areas in Samboja Lestari

Our land rehabilitation program at Samboja Lestari covers an area of 1,852.63 ha which is owned by the BOS Foundation. A total area of 983.24 ha has been certified by the National Land Agency (Badan Pertanah an Nasional), and overall this area serves as the location for our reforestation activities and ex-situ orangutan and sun bear conservation activities.

This year we continued our efforts in reforestation within a further 3 hectares, which brings the rehabilitated area in Samboja Lestari to 1,179 ha. The remaining 673 hectares provides space for the necessary infrastructure, rivers, and still leaves us with additional areas of land which we can utilize for new facilities when needed. Our team at Sam- boja Lestari is responsible for monitoring and recording vegetation data within our permanent sample plots.

In addition to our ongoing reforestation activities our team actively cultivates specific foods for our orangutan population including cabbage and cucumbers together with fruits such as rambutan.

Regular patrols are conducted by our Security team to detect any illegal activities, encroachment and importantly to prevent fire or identify fire risks. The teams are also responsible for monitoring the facilities and roads which run throughout the area. The area of Samboja Lestari is surrounded by local communities and during 2012, land tenure issues were raised in an area of our land which borders a transmigration community. We are currently seeking a solu- tion through working with the local community and coordi- nating with appropriate local government agencies.

34 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 35 Facilitation of Best Management PracticeS (BMP) to manage orangutan habitat within an oil palm plantation

The number of orangutans arriving in our Orangutan Reintroduction Centers continues to increase and a large majority of these individuals are victims of habitat loss due to the establishment of oil palm plantations. To reduce this ongoing conflict, solutions must to be found and the BOS Foundation together with Government of Central Kalimantan Province, and one oil palm plantation company, PT. Mentaya Sawit Mas have developed a collaboration to facilitate Best Management Practices (BMP) to manage orangutan habitat within that specific oil palm plantation area. The collaboration agreement was signed by all parties during March 2011 and is scheduled for renewal in Janu- ary 2013.

During 2012, progress within the agreement included: a Socio-cultural surveys within 5 villages surrounding the PT. MSM plantation area a Pre-survey among PT. MSM staff on their understanding of the protection and conservation of orangutans and habitat a Orangutan population survey together with remaining habitat surveys and threats within PT. MSM area a Results dissemination activities within Kotawaringin Timur regency a Establishment of the Program Collaboration Technical Team (TTKP) in Ko- tawaringin Timur regency

Based on results we determined that the resident orangutan population was scattered across various locations within 4,000 hectares assigned as High Conservation Value (HCV) forest within the plantation area. Unfortunately, and within the majority of HCV forest, there exists conflict on land ownership and illegal activities. Our conclusion was clearly that in order to properly manage the HCV area as ongoing orangutan habitat, the social conflicts must be solved. Based on activities conducted in 2012, the BOS Foundation recom- mended several activities for the forthcoming year, including resolution of the social conflict resulting from land tenure within the HCV areas together with the prevention of illegal activities within HCV and establishing programs which provide positive contributions to the local communities’ economy. Intensive collaboration with the TTKP, particularly to push supportive policies and to conduct participative re-surveys of the HCV border together with villages and landowners will greatly assist in conflict resolution.

36 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 37 Objective 3. Involvement of local communities and other stakeholders towards Bornean orangutan conservation and habitat protection through cooperation, research, database development, and environmental education.

Local community involvement and community development programs Winning and maintain- ing local community involvement and support is key to all of our activities and is conducted within all of our working areas.

38 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 39 Around the orangutan release/reintroduction sites in Central and East Kalimantan

Local community involvement around our orangutan release locations was conducted by our team in Central Kalimantan and focused on Tumbang Naan, Tumbang Tohan, Muara Joloi I, Muara Joloi II, and Parahau Baru villages within the Murung Raya District.

Resuming the activities first established five years earlier in Tumbang Tohan village five community business groups were established, followed by group capacity building training, and mushroom cultivation training for a woman’s group.

Furthermore and in order to support the improvement of community health, education, and culture, the BOS Foundation team at Nyaru Menteng conducted socialization activities on Malaria in Tumbang Naan village and distributed 278 mosquito nets to 186 families. Four hundred and eighty-three sta- tionery packages were delivered to schools Around orangutan rehabilitation centers in Tumbang Naan, Tumbang Tohan, and Tumbang Tabulus, together with a typewriter in Central and East Kalimantan and other equipment which were donated to the Tumbang Tohan Village Consultative Local community involvement surrounding our Orangutan Rehabilitation Board (BPD).

Involvement and empowering local communities around wild orangutan natural habitat in Mawas was conducted by the KFCP project in Kapuas and by the Mawas Con- servation Program in four villages: Timpah and Lawang Kajang (Kapuas regency), and Batampang and Sungai Jaya (South Barito District).

KFCP’s community related activities focus on improving local community economic conditions which are facilitated by CARE International, together with local community involvement in reforestation and canal blocking activities facilitated by the Mawas Conservation Program.

Local community empowerment activities conducted in Timpah, Lawang Kajang, Sungai Jaya, and Batampang villages, are directly managed by BOS Foundation Mawas Conservation Program, and include strengthening group capacity through generous support from DANIDA, and a Micro Credit Development Project funded by BOS Switzerland. Our DANIDA Project activities are aimed at empowering and developing local community economy through 23 groups (6 female groups and 17 male groups) which comprise of 292 members. Baseline socio-economic data collection, participative mapping, village facilitator training, and group establishment, were completed in each village we work with. Trainings for groups on business and product management, and mentoring in developing environmentally-friendly livelihoods were given.

Our Micro Credit Development Project, activities were implemented within two villages Timpah and Batam- pang, with 7 groups (68 members), consisting of 5 female groups and 2 male groups. Initial capital for each group in the preceding year was Rp. 10,000,000 (ten million rupiah), and that will be rolled back to new members/ groups. In Timpah, 30 women are members and the credit mechanism was managed through savings and loans “Anggrek 200,000” which is a system already established there, by the name of “Paguyuban Tutur Jaga Nyaring”.

In Batampang village, where we have 38 members (20 women and 18 men), the micro credit scheme operated through opening an account in Credit Union (CU) Sumber Rejeki. Credit for members or business loans will be issued and managed through the CU Sumber Rejeki.

Our commitment to improving conditions for individuals and communities continues and each month, a BOS Foundation staff member from the Mawas Conservation Program together with the village facilitator, provide mentoring on accounting, business planning, and meet with the groups for continuous evaluation.

Environmental education is critical in expanding awareness on Bornean orangutan conservation and the need to protect habitat.

The BOS Foundation’s activities include visits to schools and school patronage programs. This year our education team in Nyaru Menteng carried out environmental education programs through visiting schools and establishing school mentoring, and environmental education in Tua- nan and Desa Katunjung elementary schools. The BOS Foundation also runs a BOS KID’s and BOS FRIENDS program in Nyaru Menteng.

The response was very surprising. In the past 5 months, it generated almost 6,000 hits with top views coming from Indonesia, the U.S.A., the U.K., Australia and Ger- many. Articles displaying orangutan photos and videos were among the ones that generated the most hits. Although the monitoring updates do still attract some of our most loyal readers and followers, it is clear that it is important to keep the momentum going with the release events themselves.

50 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 51 Sharing lessons learned in order to improve the prospects for Bornean orangutan conservation and habitat protection

BOS Foundation operates all of our programs and activities based on agreements of cooperation and collaboration with the national government through the Directorate General PHKA of the Ministry of Forestry, and BKSDA, and the local Government of Central Kalimantan Province and the Govern- ment of Murung Raya Regency.

As a consequence of those agreements, the BOS Foundation has a responsibility to increase awareness of Bornean orangutan and habitat conservation issues to stakeholders, and to disseminate results from lessons learned, leading to improved policies that support orangutan and habitat conservation efforts.

During 2012, the BOS Foundation focused on building support, disseminating state of knowledge and improving policies. Presentations were given, we participated in seminars and related workshops, collaboration was formed to implement Best Management Practices (BMP) in orangutan habitat within an oil palm plantation in Central Kalimantan, collaboration in rescuing and releasing (translocating) orangutans from several oil palm plantations in both Central and East Kalimantan were successfully completed, and last but not least, collaboration to establish the Program Coordination Technical Team (TTKP) in Kotawaringin Timur regency to implement BMP’s in managing orangutan habitat within oil palm plantation.

Additionally the BOS Foundation provided major contributions and roles resulting in the successful upgrade status of Mawas area in Central Kalimantan, from production forest to conservation forest. Our team also provided significant inputs into developing conservation forest management plans KPHL- Kapuas Model in Central Kalimantan.

52 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 The BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2012 53 Objective 4. Institutional capacity building through strengthening the quality of employees, management systems and sustainability of funding.

Institutional strengthening and BOS Foundation staff capacity building

As at December 2012, the BOS Foundation provided employment to 443 individuals spread across all of our programs. During 2012 an additional 28 new staff were recruited, particularly to support the activities and post-release monitoring through our orangutans release/ reintroduction programs.

In order to support the effectiveness of the organization management and improve staff quality, during 2012 the BOS Foundation assessed and developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) which related to training for staff.

Capacity-building and training were conducted through technical training events organized by the BOS Foundation and partner organizations as well as through employee participation in seminars or workshops. Training events included communications, design, community facilitation, development and management of group enterprises, the development of micro-credit systems, mapping and GIS, and training to new members of the post-release monitoring teams in the field.

Fundraising

Each year we face the challenge of securing sufficient funds to run all of our programs. This is no easy task with over 800 ex-situ orangutans and almost 450 supporting staff together with the commencement of our release programs which also require new dedicated funding. We are continually seeking sustainable sources of funds and collaboration with numerous partners and groups to ensure our ongoing success. As such a huge effort was targeted at fundraising this year. Hard work and commitment from our team during the year resulted in the BOS Foundation successfully raising funds totaling IDR 61 billions which is 28 percent higher than budgeted. Around 28 percent of our income was derived from within Indonesia, and 72 percent came from our partners and donations or grants we applied for overseas (Table 2). Our success in fundraising this year enabled us to support our orangutan reintroduction events and construct new quarantine facilities. To review our progress during 2012, plans for 2013 and secure funding commitments from our partner organizations, during September 2012 we organized an annual donor meeting at our program location, Samboja Lestari, East Kalimantan.
