“Humans are lost in a false sense of self, shaped by social media, comparison and materialism. Orangutans live in the moment without ego or the need to prove anything. Let's fight for their survival, not just for them, but for the wisdom they offer us.” — Gary Shapiro, Orang Utan Republik Foundation

It’s #TongueOutTuesday! Orangutans are adorable, and we love seeing cute photos of them. But they belong in the wild, where they need safe forest habitats to survive. If this photo made you smile, please support @orangutanlandtrust.bsky.social to help protect the rainforests: orangutanlandtrust.com

Today is #NationalWatermelonDay, so we’re celebrating with Lesley’s wonderful watermelon hat! Lesley lives on a sanctuary island at BOS Foundation Samboja Lestari. She’s a very creative #orangutan with a real talent for hat-making, and this fruity masterpiece has to be one of her finest designs! 🍉

Today is #WorldNatureConservation Day. 🌏🌱 #Orangutans live in complete harmony with nature, never taking more than they need. With every seed they disperse and every tree they help grow, they act as gardeners of the forests. By protecting orangutans, we also help safeguard our precious #rainforests.

#NationalHammockDay At BOSF’s Jungle School, the #orangutans spend their days learning essential survival skills. When it's time to rest, they love relaxing in hammocks.

What makes us happiest here at Orangutan Caring is seeing orangutans in their rainforest home where they belong. This is Fiona who was rescued as a baby. After years of rehabilitation with Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP), she is now living wild and free in the Jantho Nature Reserve.

Charlie was rescued earlier this year after being kept illegally as a pet. Now he's safe at @theorangutanproject.org’s Borneo Orangutan Rescue Alliance (BORA) rescue centre, where he's finding comfort in his babysitters, enjoying his milk bottles, and bravely beginning his journey of recovery.

Wow it’s only one month until #InternationalOrangutanDay! 🦧 On August 19th, we celebrate orangutans and bring attention to their plight. There are many ways to get involved. You could fundraise for an #orangutan organisation, host an information table, or raise awareness online. Every action helps!

Orangutans are wise souls. Their wisdom is deeply rooted in the rainforest where they live in harmony with nature. They show us what it means to coexist with the natural world — supporting ecosystems, preserving balance and allowing life to flourish. Let’s follow their example by living sustainably.

Yesterday we asked you to identify the #orangutan in our throwback picture. The answer was Big Boy Beni! 😍 (Before he grew big.) Here’s a more recent photo of Beni, enjoying life on his pre-release island at BOS Foundation. 🧡 #BOSFoundation #OrangutanJungleSchool #Orangutans #OrangutanCaring

Riki is an orphaned baby orangutan who was illegally kept as a pet for 2 months before being rescued and taken into the Orangutan Foundation's care. He's doing well in the Soft-Release Programme, but he's still a bit unsure about climbing, so clings to his roommate Roni for comfort. orangutan.org.uk

Is this the best hairstyle ever? We think so! 😍 #Orangutans are such sweet, special beings who bring so much joy to our hearts. But without rainforests, they cannot survive in the wild, where they belong. Support @orangutanlandtrust.bsky.social to help protect their future: orangutanlandtrust.com
