Alba to Settle in New Home Soon 2018

The world’s only known albino orangutan, Alba, is destined for the forest and will start her new life on a 10-hectare forest-island home by the end of June. 

Like humans, all orangutans are unique individuals. There is one orangutan, however, that completely stands out from the crowd. Alba is the only world’s known albino orangutan. She was aptly named after the Latin word for “white,” in a naming competition run by BOS Foundation in May 2017.  Soon, Alba will be moved to a special man-made island that encompasses 10 hectares of natural habitat, so she can live a life of freedom, while remaining protected from human threats.

Alba was rescued in a joint effort by the BOS Foundation and the Central Kalimantan Natural Resource Conservation Agency (BKSDA) on 29 April 2017, in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan. The news of her discovery attracted international attention. Her plight deeply touched the hearts and minds of people from across the world, and left many more wondering how her story will progress.
