This centre was established in 1964 to help rehabilitate orangutans which had been orphaned. Just like a human baby, the orphaned young orangutan (which would normally live with its mother for 5-6 years) needs to be taught how to cope in the wild, while its health is carefully monitored during rehabilitation.

The centre opened in 2014 and aims to increase public awareness and release back into the forest individuals which can be rehabilitated or are still “wild”. To date, there are about 44 rescued ex-captive sunbears residing at the centre.The centre is equipped with key facilities including an observation platform, boardwalk and a visitor centre.
