• Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation - A VISIT TO ORANG UTAN ISLAND WILL SHOW WHY THE ORANGUTAN IS A BELOVED SYMBOL OF MALAYSIA. THIS 35-ACRE ISLAND IS LOCATED IN THE BEAUTIFUL BUKIT MERAH LAKE-TOWN RESORT, AN ECO-FRIENDLY 7000-ACRE FRESHWATER LAKESIDE VACATION DESTINATION IN SEMANGGOL, PERAK.

SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT IN 2000, ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS EVOLVED FROM A SANCTUARY PROVIDING VISITORS WITH AWARENESS AND EDUCATION ABOUT ORANGUTANS TO A RENOWNED EX-SITU CONSERVATION FACILITY AND REFERRAL CENTER FOR THE ENDANGERED BORNEAN ORANGUTAN.

WALKING THROUGH THE SEMI-CIRCLE STEEL-FENCE TUNNEL ENCLOSURE IS A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE, WHERE HUMANS, SEEMINGLY IN A CAGE, CAN LOOK OUT AND BE FASCINATED BY THE ORANGUTANS FREELY ROAMING IN THE TREES, ON THE GRASS, AND BY THE LAKE.

SCIENTISTS HAVE STUDIED HOW ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS GROWN ITS POPULATION FROM THREE ORANGUTANS IN 2000 TO 24 TODAY, AND THEY BELIEVE THE EFFORTS AT ORANG UTAN ISLAND WILL SIGNIFICANTLY AID IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN.
