Orangutan Foundation International

In 2005, I spent 2 weeks at Camp Leakey and in the jungles of Borneo, mapping Orangutan habitat and illegal logging in the Tanjung Puting National Park. Founded by renowned primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, the Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) is dedicated to the conservation of wild orangutans and their rainforest habitat in Borneo. OFI rescues and reh

abilitates orphaned orangutans and works to protect the forests they call home. We are proud to support their vital mission to save one of our closest relatives from extinction.

OFI is profoundly committed to the welfare of all orangutans, whether captive, ex-captive, or wild. Established by Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas and associates in 1986, OFI operates Camp Leakey, an orangutan research center, within Tanjung Puting National Park. OFI also runs the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) facility in the Dayak village of Pasir Panjang near Pangkalan Bun, which is home to 330 displaced orangutans.

It also helps manage the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, where rehabilitated wild-born ex-captive orangutans were released into the wild. Through its field programs, OFI also provides employment at these facilities for over 200 local Indonesians. OFI also owns Rusti, an adult male orangutan rescued from a backyard zoo in New Jersey, now on permanent loan to the Honolulu Zoo in Hawaii. OFI built his magnificent enclosure which covers a good part of an acre.
