2) to raise funds for the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, which is run by the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation and managed by Lone Droscher Nielsen.
Orangutan Outreach also works closely with Willie Smits, creator of the Samboja Lestari reforestation project and Hardi Baktiantoro, Director of the Centre for Orangutan Protection, a grassroots orangutan protection organization based in Jakarta.
