Who are we?
We are the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, a charity dedicated to saving the orangutan from extinction and protecting its rainforest home.
What do we do?
We are responsible for the rescue and rehabilitation of hundreds of wild and orphaned orangutans, who have been displaced by the relentless devastation of their rainforest home for palm oil production. If these young orangutans are not killed, they are sold into the illegal pet trade.
Why do we do it?
We do it because of the faces you see on this page. These are the innocent victims. They have lost their mothers, their homes and their resources. Kesi even lost her hand clinging to her mother as she was slaughtered with a machete. But thanks to the efforts of BOS, she is safe, loved and a champion tree climber!!
So what can YOU do to help save the species?
We rely entirely on donations to continue our work and achieve our goal - to rehabilitate and prepare these orangutans for a life in the wild and ultimately return them to their wild rainforest home.
With your help, we can show everyone that this beautiful part of the world and its red-haired inhabitants are an invaluable part of the world we share. |

| Description: |
The Council for Responsible Sport was formed in September of 2007 to develop an independent, comprehensive certification for sustainable athletic events. By defining realistic objectives and providing a framework for achieving them, the Council enables event directors to incorporate environmental and social responsibility into their events while informing consumers which events adhere to these standards.
The Problem
Two fundamental issues exist in the way sporting events are currently produced. The first is that they are inherently wasteful and a pastime activity practiced by large numbers of people has the potential for leaving behind a considerable footprint. Second, no significant incentives exist to encourage event producers to minimize this impact. Consider the 2007 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii as an example. The race attracted 1,787 participants from across the globe and only 68 were from the state of Hawaii who traveled a combined 18,312,992 miles to the event. This translates into the equivalent of 10,853 metric tons of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, the same amount produced by powering and heating 972 average American homes for one year.
The Solution
A growing number of sporting events are taking steps to mitigate these harmful environmental effects. The Council for Responsible Sport legitimizes these efforts and creates an environment where market forces (i.e. consumer demand) can produce tangible incentive for event directors. The mechanism for identifying responsibly-produced events is a public certification based on known best practices.
Throughout 2008, the Council for Responsible Sport conducted a pilot study to assess the state of sporting event production in terms of environmental and social sustainability. This paper summarizes the findings of this study, including individual case studies of each participating event. The knowledge gained from the pilot program shape the Council's certification process and criteria for 2009, which will be open to all interested mass participation sporting events.
