The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, located in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo, is a renowned sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of orphaned and injured orangutans. Established in 1964, the center covers a vast area of protected rainforest and provides a safe haven where these endangered primates can learn essential survival skills in a natural environment. Visitors to Sepilok can observe orangutans during feeding times from designated viewing platforms and gain insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these incredible creatures and their habitat.
