BORA is a Malaysian nonprofit organisation that is dedicated to preventing the extinction of endangered species and enabling their recovery in the wild.
Populations of many of Malaysia's iconic wildlife species are currently in steady decline. Nevertheless, it is not too late to reverse this grim trajectory.
With strategic interventions, together we can bring back our rare animals.
For the first time, BORA is compiling all its knowledge on the food plants of wild Bornean Orangutans to energise what we believe to be actions for the conservation of our endangered red apes.
"An Illustrated Guide to Bornean Orangutan Food Plants" is a practical toolkit and provides aroad map to enrich set aside lands within the mixed landscape of oil palm plantations which dominate Sabah's northeast to contribute to Orangutan conservation.
The actions are uncomplicated and can be easily adopted. What now remains is for key stakeholders, particularly the plantation sector, to adopt habitat enrichment as their contribution to safeguarding Sabah's wildlife.
This publication was produced as part of the "Experimental Habitat Restoration for Orangutans in Kinabatangan landscape",a project by the Sabah Landscapes Programme under WWF Malaysia, funded by Unilever.

In 2021, BORA received a Climate Governance Award in support of its pilot initiative to develop elephant pastures on degraded land within the fringes of Sabah’s Tabin Wildlife Reserve to help address the problem of human–elephant conflict using habitat enrichment.
