stablished in 1999, the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Project (OuTrop) – now a programme of the Borneo Nature Foundation – is dedicated to helping protect, restore and regenerate the Sabangau Forest through research, training and conservation support. The 6,300 km2 area of peat-swamp forest in Sabangau is home to the world’s largest orangutan population, which OuTrop currently estimates at approximately 6,900 individuals, making it of critical importance for the conservation of the species.

Borneo Nature Foundation has recently been approved for a grant to develop a boardwalk as part of their plan to reforest the Kanal Ruslan area in Central Kalimantan. The proposed boardwalk development will assist the reforestation team and community nursery in their effort to expand the planting area. The work will also combat worsening road conditions as these areas are being constantly traversed. The boardwalk will provide new infrastructure to the area for current and future conservation initiatives.
