Description

Our guest Dr Fransiska Sulistyo never planned to work with these amazing creatures. It happened just by chance and now, Siska can’t imagine her life without the gentle orangutans. She spent five years in the jungle of Borneo as animal welfare coordinator of BOSF (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation). She got to know the hairy primates inside and out and in passing she also learned a lot about human psychology. After all we are not that different from our hairy cousins. Currently, Siska works with OVAG, the Orangutan Veterinary Advisory Group, as an independent consultant for several orangutan rescue & rehabilitation centers in Indonesia. Learn more about OVAG: https://www.ovag.orgLearn more about BOSF, an Indonesian NGO that runs one of the biggest great apes rescue, rehabilitation, and reintroduction programs in the world: https://borneoorangutansurvival.org
