OHP: Overview of the Orangutan Health Project, orangutan research and conservation Principal Investigator MVDr Ivona Foitová, PhD The Orangutan Health Project (OHP) was the first orangutan research project to investigate special behaviours and ecological conditions necessary to maintain health in wild orangutans. In addition, OHP is the only on-going and long-term orangutan health research project being conducted in the world at this time. This is partly due to the complexity of self-medicating behaviours of the orangutan and the astonishing variety of flora in the rainforest, which also entails geographical and seasonal variations.
