Habitat Restoration

Safeguarding Health and Habitat in Sebangau National Park

With Orangutan Conservancy’s support, the Borneo Nature Foundation is restoring Sebangau National Park’s peat-swamp forests and launching the first systematic health monitoring of wild orangutans. Over 1,000 dams have now been built to protect against fires and improve habitat quality, while new health research is generating vital data on disease and building local scientific capacity to protect orangutans for generations to come.

Borneo Nature Foundation’s OuTrop – 2012: OuTrop Funding

stablished in 1999, the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop) – now a programme of the Borneo Nature Foundation – is dedicated to helping protect, restore and regenerate the Sabangau Forest through research, training and conservation support. The 6,300 km2 area of peat-swamp forest in Sabangau is home to the world’s largest orangutan population, which OuTrop currently estimates at approximately 6,900 individuals, making it of critical importance for the conservation of the species.
