Since 2006, the Orangutan Caring Scholarship (OCS) has helped over 300 students pursue degrees in biology, forestry, veterinary science, and other fields vital to Indonesia’s conservation future. This achievement is only possible through the generosity of institutions and individuals alike. Below we honor their support.
