Rambutans for Orangutans Appeal

[Guest guest]

Rambutans for Orangutans Appeal The rainforest is a place of indescribable beauty, an ever-changing topography of birth, death and regeneration. Such a place and the inhabitants who reside there, both animal and human, need our help and support to hold onto what forest remains and to pull back from the brink what forest has been lost…. Lone Droscher-Nielsen, founder and manager of the BOS Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue Project, has obtained an area of degraded land (which will form part of the orangutan nursery), close to the centre in which it is planned to plant a variety of 100 tropical fruit trees, including rambutan (which translates as “hairy fruit”), a favourite of the small orangutans! This land is presently quite degraded, mostly white sand

with thorny brush and grasses, so it needs a lot of deep holes dug and filled in with nutrient rich soil. As BOS has already successfully reforested some 2000 hectares of similarly degraded land in our Samboja Lestari Reforestation Project, we know it will not be difficult to bring back some life to this small area. For every £10 donation towards the project, we will be able to not only plant a tree in the donor’s name, but also we can give a second tree to a member of the BOS Kids group. (e.g. £10 = 2 trees, £20 = 4 trees and so on). BOSKids, an outreach and educational programme for local children in Borneo will help to carry out the planting. Each BOSKid participant will also receive as a result of your donation their very own fruit tree to take home and nurture themselves. Your donation

will help bring us ever closer to our ultimate goal: to protect the orangutans in our care long enough to see them returned to the wild where they belong. We will acknowledge your donation here on the website, whether it is on behalf of yourself, a family member, friend or loved one. Your donation can also be in memory of a loved one who has passed away, a tree planted in their name which, in the near future, baby orangutans (aged from only a few weeks to a year old) will be taking their first tentative steps towards their return to the wild, climbing these trees under the watchful eye of their babysitter and selecting their own fruit fresh off the tree. http://www.savetheorangutan.co.uk/Michelle Desilets, Director Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation
