2008 Primates Helping Primate Fund Raiser
 

The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation is the largest primate rescue project in the world, with nearly 1000 orangutans in its care. BOS is the only organisation actively rescuing wild orangutans from oil-palm plantations, as well as rehabilitating orphaned orangutans, displaced as a result of the relentless devastation of their habitat to clear land for palm oil production. BOS is committed to protecting the orangutan and its rainforest habitat, and relies entirely on donations to achieve this.

 

This event raised £545.50 for BOS.

Thanks to our Art &Craft Exhibitors, including Fearby & Healey W.I. and Masham Young Farmers for supporting the event, and Viv Carr for her wonderful face painting.

Thanks to Masham Scouts who did a sponsored walk raising £40.00.
