    The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1964 to return orphaned "apes back to

    the wild. The centre was being administered by the wildlife section of the Forestry Department which in
    1988 was upgraded as a department under the Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Development. All
    administration and management was given to the new Wildlife Department of Sabah.

    The objectives of the project have expanded in recent years. While Orangutan rehabilita tion is stilt the
    primary goal at Sepilok, present aims include public education on conservation, research and assistance
    to other endangered species such as captive breeding of the rare and endangered rhinoceros.

    This centre is now under the supervision of more than 37 staff, including a Wildlife Officer who is also
    officer-in-charge of the centre, a veterinary doctor, wildlife rangers and general workers.

    The centre has a reception centre, information centre, offices for wildlife staff, an animal clinic, quarantine
    area and enclosures for various animals such as the rhinoceros.

    Sepilok, renowned for its orangutan rehabilitation project, has stimulated a greater local and international
    awareness of the protection laws for endangered species, and the Centre has resulted in an increase in
    detection and confiscation of illegally held captive animals.

    Devastating effects to the forest due to fires

    Retaining landscapes to save important populations


    The orang-utan population in the Kinabatangan-Segama area represents the largest in
    Malaysia and arguably one of the most secure orang-utan populations in the world
    considering the ongoing threats (of illegal logging, forest conversion, fire and hunting) to
    remaining large orang-utan populations in Indonesia.

    However, some Kinabatangan-Segama populations in the area, especially at the northern part of Ulu
    Segama Forest Reserve, are already biologically isolated by the Ulu Segama River. Previous
    logging activities have partly damaged the forest structure and in the long term, orang-utans in this
    area may decline due to the poor habitat and low carrying capacity. 
     
    The Sabah State Government made a commitment (see http://www.dailyexpress.com.my) to
    maintain orang-utan forest habitat under natural forest management, rather than converting to
    plantations. This commitment was in part, a result of WWF-Malaysia’s field and advocacy work in
    Sabah since the 1980s. The government is now working closely with WWF to address these issue,
    and WWF would continue to support in terms of commitment to natural forest management, further
    information input into forest management plans, and forest restoration in the Ulu Segama-Malua
    Forest Reserves.
