We increased brand awareness with the aim that when people talk about orangutans, they associate it with the work of the BOS Foundation. Our most successful campaign this year was #ClimbForOrangutan which highlighted our activities to the general Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation public. This was further heightened throughout the busiest business district in Jakarta through showcasing a short film on orangutan conservation via a giant screen on the BCA tower for a month.

nsuring we continue to strive towards By the end of December 2014, a maximum improving orangutan and habitat of 92% of our released orangutans had Econservation prospects in Indonesia is survived and only 13 individuals, or 8%, had our main objective. One of our focal activites failed to adapt to their new environment. to bolster orangutan conservation is the Eight deaths occurred in Batikap (Central reintroduction of rehabilitated orangutans to Kalimantan) and 3 in Kehje Sewen (East natural habitat with the support of the local Kalimantan) plus 2 individuals were communities. 2014 was a year of significant retrieved from Kehje Sewen and returned effort and breakthroughs to continually to Samboja Lestari due to ill health or improve our reintroduction process during to alleviate potential human-conflict 2014 and the years ahead. situations.

At the beginning of 2014, we continued to To meet our needs for new orangutan care for a total of 538 orangutans in Nyaru release areas, this year we strived to obtain Menteng and 216 in Samboja Lestari. During an additional area in East Kalimantan using the year, the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan an addendum (swap) scheme within our Reintroduction Center received 18 new PT RHOI managed area of Kehje Sewen orangutans and Samboja Lestari received and additionally to expand it from 86,450 14 new orangutans By December 2014, ha to 90,000 ha. In Central Kalimantan we we provided rehabilitation to a total of 702 aimed to establish a new ERC (Ecosystem orangutans and 56 sun bears. Restoration Concession) covering an area

Six orangutans we rescued in Central Kalimantan were translocated into an Ecosystem Restoration Concession managed by PT Rimba Makmur Utama (RMU) and Sebangau National Park. We also prepared release candidates and reintroduced a further 42 orangutans, bringing the total number of reintroduced orangutans between early 2012 and December 2014 to 162. To ensure the success rate of our released orangutans, the PRM (Post Release Monitoring) teams in the Bukit Batikap Conservation Forest and the Kehje Sewen Forest collect daily data on orangutan behavior to monitor and evaluate orangutan adaptation in their new habitat and to provide support to individuals where needed, at the earliest possible opportunity.

We therefore regularly conduct collaboration with partner organizations. protection patrols within the Mawas area in Central Kalimantan which serves as habitat to approximately Having achieved so much in 2014, we are ready 3,000 wild orangutans, as well as canal blocking to to implement our plans for 2015! improve habitat quality and close access to illegal loggers. Within our orangutan reintroduction areas, in Batikap, Central Kalimantan we collaborate with the government of Murung Raya Regency through joint monthly patrols. In Kehje Sewen, East Kalimantan, we focused on managing our Ecosystem Restoration Concession forest. Our team in Samboja Lestari concentrated on reforestation and plant maintenance to further prepare the area which will serve as a sanctuary for orangutans and sun bears. To protect orangutan habitat outside of areas categorised as forest, our team facilitated Best Management Practices (BMP) within orangutan habitat in concession areas and oil palm plantations in Central and East Kalimantan.

Support from the local communities and other stakeholders play a crucial role in how the BOS Foundation run its activities in the field. Participation from local communities ensures the sustainability of community empowerment and development programs organized in 17 villages surrounding our areas of work in Central and East Kalimantan. We are also committed to intensifying our communications to the public through information disseminated on our website, social media and general network, both nationally and internationally.

10 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 11 ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2014

MAIN MISSION OF BOS FOUNDATION IS “TO ACHIEVE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN AND HABITAT CONSERVATION IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS“

To achieve our goal we follow four main objectives.

12 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 13 During 2014, Nyaru Menteng received 18 new orangutans, Orangutan Rescue of which 10 ex-captive orangutans were handed over by and Translocation BKSDA in Central Kalimantan and the communities, 5 were transferred from Samboja Lestari, 1 was rescued and 2 infants were born in Nyaru Menteng. Together with the Central Kalimantan BKSDA, the Nyaru Menteng rescue team also saved 6 wild orangutans which we translocated to suitable new habitat. In August 2014, 5 wild orangutans were rescued from an oil palm plantation and settlement, then subsequently translocated to an ERC (Ecosystem Restoration Concession), referred to in Indonesia as a (IUPHHK-RE), managed by PT. Rimba Makmur Utama (PT. RMU), from Muara Bulan village in Mendawai sub-regency, , Central Kalimantan. After a year of rehabilitation in Nyaru Menteng they were finally returned to suitable and safe natural habitat. This event took place thanks to cooperation between the BOS Foundation, BKSDA in Central Kalimantan, PT. RMU, Central Kalimantan Orangutan Conservation Forum (FORKAH), Indonesian Orangutan Forum (FORINA) and USAID- IFACS. In December 2014, and together with BKSDA in Central Kalimantan, Nyaru Menteng translocated 1 orangutan previously rescued from Marang village,

Objective 1 Encourage the protection of orangutans and other protected wildlife (sun bears) through the release of orangutans back to natural habitat and the provision of a sun bear sanctuary

The BOS Foundation is committed to supporting our governmental partner BKSDA (Conservation and Natural Resources Authority) in rescuing orangutans through confiscations or handovers from the communities or rescue missions of displaced orangutans and rehabilitating them at our two orangutan rehabilitation centers; Nyaru Menteng, Central Kalimantan and Samboja Lestari, East Kalimantan. All of these orangutans are victims of conflict with humans mainly due to the conversion of their forest habitat to oil palm plantations or other human land-use development activities and illegal hunting.

This is further complicated by the fact that each orangutan is very different and they have individual preferences, but our future direction focuses us on these issues and we aim to provide the best Animal Welfare possible enrichment available.

Rehabilitation Process For example there is not always sufficient space Through our rehabilitation process we provide on our islands, which means that orangutans care and learning for our orangutans to develop have to wait until such time that places become critical forest survival skills they need prior to their available. This type of situation is obviously eventual return to natural habitat. Additionally we detrimental to their continued learning and we strive to provide permanent suitable care for our have to compensate for that. unreleaseable orangutans. 5. Long-term Care For each orangutan arriving at our rehabilitation Currently we care for a number of orangutans centers, an initial quarantine period and health which can never be released due to illness, tests are completed. Following this, individuals injury or age. Of these 20 individuals are continue on to either our nursery facilities and/ located in Nyaru Menteng and 49 individuals or Forest School. The final phase is pre-release are cared for in Samboja Lestari. Over the which takes place in a semi-wild environment on years we have searched for a suitable sanctuary islands or a higher level of Forest School. Whilst facility to properly care for these individuals, all the theory of progression is clear, due to our large of whom have unique requirements. This will populations we do experience a queuing factor. be a priority for us to resolve in 2015.

Besides rehabilitating orangutans, our Rescue and Rehabilitation rehabilitation centers in Nyaru Menteng and of Other Protected Wildlife Samboja Lestari also receive other protected species from BKSDA, particulary sun bears (Sun Bears) (Helarctos malayanus). In 2014, the BOS Foundation cared for 56 sun bears; 9 (7 females and 2 males) in Nyaru Menteng and 47 (31 females and 16 males) in Samboja Lestari.

Sun bear care is generally similar to orangutan care and consists of routine health checks, care, improved welfare and enrichment as well as training where possible. Sadly sun bear rehabilitation is challenging as there is only a small window of opportunity during which sun bears can adapt to life back in the wild. Our current sun bear facilities are inadequate to realise a successful sun bear reintroduction program and funds are needed to remedy this in the future.

20 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 21 PERMITS FOR FUTURE RELEASE AND TRANSLOCATION SITES

The BOS Foundation has obtained permits to ha, similar to our ERC in East Kalimantan. The initial release orangutans from Nyaru Menteng in Central process was initiated back in 2010. Unfortunately the Kalimantan into the Bukit Batikap Conservation area proposed overlapped with proposed mining Forest and from Samboja Lestari in East Kalimantan, concessions. In response the Ministry of Forestry into the Kehje Sewen Forest. recommended partial use of 41,670 hectares, but split into 2 different locations, 31,950 and 9,730 ha Whilst currently fulfilling our needs, those areas are respectively. Management of these two separate areas insufficient to support the number of orangutans we will be extremely challenging and costly and we are yet currently care for in our rehabilitation centers. Hence, to accept these areas. Our search for more suitable it is crucial for us to obtain additional orangutan areas continues. Successfully reintroducing orangutans into natural release areas. Orangutan Reintroduction habitat is the final step after rehabilitation. Prior To increase the size of our orangutan reintroduction site to reintroduction we assess our orangutans basic During 2014, the BOS Foundation sought to obtain in East Kalimantan, our established company, PT RHOI, into Natural Habitat survival skills and select those candidates which a new orangutan release area in Central Kalimantan also proposed to the government that we expand our fulfill our criteria at that point. Detailed plans are through requesting a permit to manage a new existing ERC (Kehje Sewen) to 90,000 hectares through then developed ensuring all actions are in place to Ecosystem Restoration Concession covering 66,288 a swap mechanism. This too is yet to be realised. conduct a successful and safe reintroduction event.

Building on the last two years of successful reintroductions, in 2014 the BOS Foundation continued to utilize our existing release sites; the Table 1.

24 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 BOS Foundation - Annual Report 2014 25 Sadly three rehabilitated female orangutans released into Kehje Sewen were unsuccessful. One individual had difficulties in adapting to her new environment. Another individual initially experienced similar difficulties, though her condition dramatically improved. Unfortunately she was found dead a week after the last observation. The last individual successfully completed her first year in the forest and was doing well, but her remains were found three months after the last recorded observation. In Batikap, 8 individuals including two infants were either found dead or we suspect that they had died. From these, one individual fell sick and was evacuated to camp, but died after several days of intensive treatment, one female died post-translocation, two ex-rehabilitated females, whom had successfully completed their first year in Batikap without difficulties, two ex-rehabilitated females and two infants died three months after reintroduction. Our investigations into these deaths have so far proved unsuccessful and we are unable to conclude the cause of death of all of these individuals.

Natural mortality rates in wild orangutans is reported between 2-8% per year, meaning that we would expect to lose a certain number of orangutans each year. Due to the life histories of our orangutans, we would expect to lose a higher percentage simply because our orangtuans are rehabilitated and raised under unnatural circumstances. We aim to equip our orangutans with the best possible chance of survival and adaption, but ultimately the final part is up to them.

The Murung Raya government agencies are responsible for managing Kalimantan and Central Batikap and during 2014, the BOS Foundation supported intensified joint patrols with BKSDA and Kalimantan SPORC (Forest Police) within the area.

Kehje Sewen Forest in East Kalimantan is an Ecocystem Restoration Concession (ERC) area managed by a subsidiary company, PT. Restorasi Habitat Orangutan Indonesia (RHOI), which was developed by the BOS Foundation. This area is production forest designed to accomodate orangutan reintroductions from our rehabiliation center at Samboja Lestari.

During 2014, the BOS Foundation through PT. RHOI fulfilled several managment obligations including, the development of the 2015 Annual Workplan and boundary demarcation and necessary procedures in the area adjacent to neighbouring PT. Intertropic Adhitama. We are in the final stage of completing 21 km of demarcation, which was funded by VP International.

Once the reintroduction area around Camp Lesik (located in KM 103 in Kehje Sewen Forest) reaches orangutan carrying capactiy, we will prepare a new area for reintroductions in the south of Kehje Sewen. To make this a reality we need to open an access route through the neighbouring concession area managed Figure 3.

From 1,852-hectares of BOS Foundation owned land at Samboja Lestari, which provides home to our orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries, 983.24 ha have been certified Most of the orangutans we receive are victims of conflict by the National Land Authority (BPN) and 1,181 hectares with oil palm plantations. To abate this issue the BOS have been rehabilitated.

Program The main focus of our Community Development Strategy is to increase the sustainable livelihoods for communities living in and around orangutan habitat. The purpose of this focus is to ensure sustainable social, environmental and economic development for the communities living close to orangutan habitat and to increase local participation and support for orangutan and natural resources protection.

Around BOS Foundation Orangutan Rehabilitation Centers in Central and East Kalimantan

Community involvement in areas neighboring Nyaru Menteng and Samboja Lestari is mainly through cooperation for provision of continuous food supplies. Orangutan food required at Nyaru Menteng was provided by 23 community groups from 6 villages in the Bukit Batu sub-regency, Tangkiling. Whilst in Samboja Lestari, food was provided by 20 farm groups. On average, monthly food supply ranges between 100-130 kg per individual and consists of 20-31 varieties of fruits, vegetables and other supplements.

Nyaru Menteng additionally supports the neighboring villages in Sungai Gohong and Tumbang Tahai villages through conducting population census, ID card registration and birth certificates . In Samboja Lestari, the community involvement is ongoing through replanting, plant maintenance and the manufacture of organic fertilizer from animal food leftovers.

In 2014, and due to limited funding, community development activities slowed a little in Bukit Batikap, however communications were maintained with communities in two villages, Tumbang Naan and Tumbang Tohan.

In East Kalimantan our Community Development program is implemented by our Orangutan Habitat Restoration (RHO) Program. Here we focus on maintaining good communication with communities in the 3 villages of Deabeq, Diaklay and Benhes. The majority of people here are from the Dayak Wehean tribe, and in order to strengthen their local wisdom and traditional law, especially in relation to orangutan and habitat conservation, the BOS Foundation facilitated the establishment of the Dayak Wehean Traditional Forum. RHO also explored possibilities of collaboration with timber companies around Kehje Sewen to establish better road access and conduct socialization on Wehean traditional law in Pelangsiran.

For several years our Community Development program in Mawas has focused efforts within four villages; Timpah and Lawang Kajang in the and Batampang and Sungai Jaya in the . Here our program includes capacity building, economic development and micro-finance opportunities. Capacity building and economic development initiatives were implemented in the four villages with funding support provided by DANIDA/CISU Denmark, and our micro- credit program established in two villages (Timpah and Batampang) was funded by BOS Switzerland. The management of these two activities are organized integrally.

The community development program was effectively conducted in 3 villages: Timpah, Batampang and Sungai Jaya, involving 9 farmer groups and 98 members of which 51 members are women. Community development activities in Lawang Village were halted due to internal conflict within the village. Facilitation and technical

The Tuanan Research Station is managed Development by the BOS Foundation in cooperation with Zurich University, Universitas Nasional Jakarta (UNAS), Rutgers University in the United States and the relevant government agencies in Kapuas Regency. Research in Tuanan is focused on wild orangutans especially population monitoring, orangutan diet and physiology, behavior and health, and habitat research. Each month, roughly 7 researchers from Indonesia and overseas are present and working on different research topics.

Reintroduced Orangutans Daily data recorded by our full-time Post-Release Monitoring teams on our reintroduced orangutans are used to assess each individuals adaptation and survival in natural habitat. Thousands of hours of direct observation data have been collected and data are regularly analyzed to inform our ongoing monitoring priorities and which orangutans need to be followed. This enables us to calculate success rates and intervene should a problem arise.

Reforestation and Vegetation Monitoring As mentioned in early parts of this report, within Samboja Lestari and in the orangutan reintroduction area of Kehje Sewen Forest, East Kalimantan, the BOS Foundation regularly records data on plant measurements within plots. Furthermore we have developed a carbon measurement system in cooperation with NEC Japan and Smart Energy (consultant).

Within both of our reintroduction forests (Bukit Batikap and Kehje Sewen) monthly phenology data are recorded along transects; the data from which informs us of fruit availability and therefore the optimum months in which to reintroduce orangutans.
