Lone Dröscher Nielsen is the founder and manager of the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Reintroduction Project in Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). 

Working with the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (B.O.S.), Lone began this project in 1999, and it is now the largest primate rescue project in the world, with nearly 600 orangutans in its care. The project not only rescues and rehabilitates hundreds of orphaned orangutan infants with the goal of a return to some sort of wild life, but it also rescues hundreds of adult wild orangutans from palm oil plantations which have been planted after their natural forest habitat has been cleared.
