Gunung Mulu National Park

The Gunung Mulu National Park is located near the city of
Miri, in Sarawak, on the part of the island of Borneo that
belongs to Malaysia. This place, which is a recognized
tourist destination, has karst formations, caves and others
that are also made of stone, but they are unique because
they are in an equatorial mountainous rain forest, so they
offer a unique experience. Touring this entire park is
through normal expeditions that take tourists through the
caves, rock formations and surrounding forests, which
makes everything much safer and much more enjoyable.
This park was named after Mount Mulu, which is the second
highest mountain in this part of Sarawak Borneo

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in the Malaysian Sabah
District of North Borneo was founded in 1964, to rehabilitate orphan
orangutans. The site is 43 sq. km of protected land at the edge
of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve. Today around 60 to 80
orangutans are living free in the reserve.

When Sabah became an independent state in Malaysia in 1963, a Game Branch was
created in the Forest Department for the conservation of wild animals in the region.
Consequently, 43 sq. km of protected land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest
Reserve was turned into a rehabilitation site for orangutans, and a centre built to
care for the apes.

Today around 25 young orphaned orangutans

are housed in the nurseries, in addition to those
free in the reserve.

Tanjung Puting National Park

This incredible National Park is located in Central Kalimantan.
It is by the Sungai Sekonyer River where the klotok sail, and where the
piers are to visit the three feeding platforms of the orangutans.
Its extension 4150 square km, on the east bank as you enter the river.

The other margin, that of the left, is not a national park, and it is the most compromised zone,
because it is where the famous and dangerous plantations from which palm oil is obtained are
found.
Currently they present a serious problem against the conservation of the orangutan.
Palm oil leaves a lot of money, and is destroying a lot of jungle, this implies that orangutans are
losing their habitat and the population is falling alarmingly.

But not only are these primates affected, many other species suffer the
consequences of arson, loss of habitat. According to Faris, the local
population is very distressed and outraged at what is happening, and they
are aware that if no action is taken, the orangutans will disappear.
