habitat. At this rehabilitation center, captive animals are restrained for life
in the jungle. This is only one of the four four orang-utan sanctuaries in the
world and is one of the top tourist attractions in Sabah. The orang-utans particularly
the younger ones are quite impressive. They all have ginger fur and intelligent
eyes.
The Orang Utan Centre was established in 1964 with the primary objective of
returning orphaned apes back to the wild. The objectives of the project have
expanded in the recent past. While Orang-Utan rehabilitation is still the primary
goal at the centre, present aims include public education on conservation and
research with other endangered species such as captive breeding of the rare
and endangered rhinoceros. The centre now has more than 37 dedicated staff looking
after the welfare of the Orang-Utans

centre. These orang utans are nicknamed the Wild Man of Borneo and are returned
to the forests when they can fend for themselves.
