Feature Partner, Conservation Action Network Borneo (CAN)

With your support, Orangutan Land Trust has been able to send vital funding for the conservation activities of our trusted partner in the field, Conservation Action Network (CAN) Borneo. They have sent us this short update to share with you:

“The loss of forest habitat has increasingly pushed wildlife into conflict situations across Kalimantan. In several areas, this situation has become severe, as remaining forests are heavily fragmented and no longer provide sufficient space or resources for wildlife to survive. As habitats shrink and become isolated, animals such as orangutans are forced closer to roads, plantations, and human settlements.

One of the most important long-term solutions is reconnecting the remaining forest patches that are still viable. By protecting these areas and establishing wildlife corridors between them, we can help restore safe movement routes for wildlife and reduce the need for emergency interventions. At the same time, rescue operations remain critical for animals that have already been completely displaced from their natural habitat.

For this reason, the Long Sam Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center was established to provide care for animals that have been injured, displaced, or rescued from conflict situations. Alongside rehabilitation work, CAN Borneo is also actively protecting several forest areas to safeguard remaining habitats and create new safe spaces for wildlife. We are also working with companies and local partners to encourage the development of wildlife corridors, helping reconnect fragmented forests and secure a future for wildlife in Borneo.”
