borneo orangutan survival foundation

Orangutan Diaries or Orangutan Diary is a nature documentary series on the BBC,[1][2] which follows the lives of Bornean Orangutans in the care of Lone Drøscher Nielsen, a member of the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) foundation. The program tries to detail the threat that the orangutans face in day to day life. The presenter's Michaela Strachan and Steve Leonard follow the carer's of the orangutans daily to see what the center has to deal with. The centre was founded in 1994, a year after Lone Dröscher Nielsen permently moved to Borneo. She could see what effect the Palm oil plantations were having to the orangutans, so then founded the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Project, which now is the largest ape rescue project in the world. The first Series aired through BBC Televison in April 2006, the second Series then followed in 2008.[3][4] Both series are available as DVDs
