Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island

On arrival at the Lakeside resort of Bukit Merah, located a short drive from the town of Taiping, the group took a boat across to the Island. We were greeted by a guide who introduced the project but we're distracted by three young orang utans playing nearby. To view the animals we walked through a semi-circular steel frame tunnel cage like structure with the Orang utans roaming in the outside. A populated of 24. Most have been born there, some rescued from Borneo - none have been rehabilitated yet. A centre for research and also for conservation and education.Læs mere
