Borneo Primate Tour products is our way of supporting conservation efforts for the endangered Orangutan and its globally important habitat- the tropical forests of Kalimantan. Our mission is to provide environmentally friendly green jobs opportunities for local communities through ecotourism activities to support conservation.

As a form of our commitment to sustainable tourism activities, we strongly support environmental education activities, especially for communities around the area.

As one of our commitments to realizing natural sustainability, responding to the Climate Change and a part of our responsibility to the environment, we set aside our profits to plant a tree for each trip. Last October, Orangutan Applause collaborated with the Conservation Community Group "Tanjung Lestari".  The program is called the Ecosystem Restoration Program on the Buffer Zone of Tanjung Puting National Park (TNTP). Based on Cooperation Agreement Letter No: 040/E/MBA/10/2024, we agree and take full responsibility for ecosystem restoration activities through tree restoration by planting activities.

Tanjung Lestari is a youth community group that was born out by loving of  Sekonyer Village and concerning for the continuity of the generations. Initiating from Karang Taruna Sekonyer Village in 2017 they started their activities. Karang Taruna's activities are structured to play a greater role in nature conservation and ecosystem restoration. Armed with a Cooperation Agreement (PKS) with the TNTP Center and Karang Taruna Sekonyer Village, they have planted 105 hectares of forest plants in 2018-2019 period. No less than 100,000 trees were planted.

Organizational dynamics seem to be an inseparable part of the process journey. At the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, the Karang Taruna of Sekonyer Village transformed into Tanjung Lestari. It is a necessity for organizations to be able to have a wider positive impact on society. The organization is developing wings for village community empowerment programs. To date, more than 300,000 forest plant seeds have been planted and well cared for.
