The Problem
There are numerous threats to the viability of the remaining wild orangutan population in Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary threat is the loss of habitat with up to 80% of suitable forest in Indonesia and Malaysia having been lost in the past 20 years. Other threats, which often go hand-in-hand with the destruction of the rainforest, are the illegal pet trade
and poaching.

Our beloved #orangutan Kopral #Urgently needs your #HelpNow!
He has seriously injured his right foot, which is exceptionally tragic for a double-arm amputee who depends on his feet and mouth to live a self-determined life.
Our veterinarians are doing everything possible to help Kopral, but they #needyoursupport to continue his treatment. Without intervention, Kopral's right ankle may remain stiff, and his leg muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments may lose mobility.
#pleasehelp here: bit.ly/Help_Kopral
Kopral is #anxiouslywaiting in his enclosure to return to his #sanctuaryisland, where he enjoyed his best life with his #OrangutanJungleSchool friend Lesley.
Poor Kopral has been through a lot. Kept illegally as a pet for most of his young life, he was severely electrocuted while trying to escape his captors. When brought to the BOS Foundation, the little male had severe burns to most of his body, and tragically, our vets had no choice but to amputate his arms.
Please #GiveNow - because without healthy feet, Kopral is #helpless!
