Understand Conservation Efforts
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre plays a pivotal role in orangutan conservation by rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned and injured orangutans. At any one time, around 25 orphaned orangutans are cared for in the centre's dedicated nursery, and up to 80 orangutans roam in the rainforest reserve.
The centre educates visitors on the importance of aiding these curious creatures and combating illegal wildlife trade. Through these efforts, Sepilok aims to ensure the survival of Borneo's endangered orangutan population.
