ARE ORANGUTANS EMPATHETIC?
It was a usual day at the Nyaru Menteng forest school, where young orangutans were learning from one another while their human surrogate mothers looked on from below.
Gather your friends and help save orangutans without even setting foot in the forest by joining the BOS Foundation’s #FunWalk, which will take place on Jakarta’s #CarFreeDay, November 13.
The #FunWalk will coincide with #OrangutanCaringWeek – an international event observed annually during the second week of November – and gives Jakarta residents the opportunity to show their support for orangutan conservation.
CEO Jamartin Sihite will be accompanied by Uli Herdinansyah, Bayu Oktara, Hilbram Dunar, Farhan, Nadine Alexandra, Umay, Jose Poernomo, Fade2Black, Harsya Subandrio, and Blink. Come and learn everything you need to know about orangutans and habitat conservation. Also attending this event are Swara Maharddhika and Orangutan Lifesaver communities.
