CORE Borneo is a registered (U.S.A.) non-profit NGO 501(c)(3). We support research at the Tuanan Research Station in Indonesian Borneo






















To kick off @OrangutanWeek , the #Tuanan team is excited to announce the birth of baby Mario - son to Mawas and grandson to Mindy. Mario is our newest addition to the #Tuanan #orangutan population. Photo's by the Tuanan research team.

I was bit by a giant centipedes while at the research station this year 😬 and wrote about what happened and the experience in my National Geographic Field Notes Blog: fieldnotes.nationalgeographic.org/expedition/bor… (The Sept 2nd post)

Congratulations to Dr. Rebecca Brittain @brittair1 for an incredible defense today! I have had the privilege of working with Becca since 2015, when she started as a research assistant for the #Tuanan Project. #orangutans #NSFPostdoc #gutmicrobiome

Forests are home to the majority of the world’s terrestrial #biodiversity. Protecting & preserving our forests is about more than just us. 💚Our future depends on how we treat our forests today. #BuildBackBiodiversity Via @FAO





Ok so this was *incredibly exciting* from one of our drone surveys this morning - a massive male orangutan asleep in his nest! 🦧 (Video 1 from the 28x zoom, Video 2 from the thermal camera!)
