Summary

| Description | Another look at the wild orangutan munching on a stick of sugarcane. In 1962, a British lady called Barbara Harrison, with the backing WWF, visited Sabah and reported that the orangutan was an endangered species and campaigned for its protection. The following year orangutans became officially protected under the Fauna Conservation Ordinance, which, among other things, prohibits hunting, trading or keeping them as pets. Barbara then began to rescue young orangutans being kept locally as pets, and the idea grew of rehabilitating these animals to fend for themselves so that they might re-adapt to life in the wild. In 1964, about 43 sqr. km of jungle rainforest was set aside and the Sepilok Rehabilitation centre was established to rehabilitate orang utans for reintegration into the wild. Today around 80 orang utans are living free in the reserve and there are about 25 juveniles and babies living in the nurseries at the center’s buildings. (Sepilok Orang Utan Rehab. Centre, Sepilok, Sabah, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013) |
