- Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation - VISIT TO ORANG UTAN ISLAND WILL CONVINCE ANYONE WHY THE ORANGUTAN HAS ENDEARED ITSELF AS A SYMBOL OF MALAYSIA. A 35-ACRE ISLAND NESTLED WITHIN THE IDYLLIC SETTING OF BUKIT MERAH LAKE-TOWN RESORT, AN ECO-FRIENDLY 7000-ACRE FRESHWATER LAKESIDE VACATION GETAWAY IN SEMANGGOL, PERAK.
SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2000, ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS PROGRESSED FROM BEING A SANCTUARY, WHERE VISITORS EXPERIENCED FIRST-HAND AWARENESS AND EDUCATION ON THE ORANGUTAN, TO A RECOGNIZED EX-SITU CONSERVATION FACILITY AND REFERRAL CENTER FOR THE ENDANGERED BORNEAN ORANGUTAN.
A WALK THROUGH THE SEMI-CIRCLE STEEL-FENCE TUNNEL ENCLOSURE IS A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE, WHERE WE HUMANS, SEEMINGLY IN A CAGE, CAN PEER OUT AND BE CAPTIVATED BY THE ORANGUTANS ROAMING FREE BEYOND IN THE TREES, ON THE GRASS, AND BY THE LAKE.
SCIENTISTS HAVE COME TO STUDY HOW ORANG UTAN ISLAND HAS MANAGED TO HAVE A POPULATION OF 24 ORANGUTANS TODAY FROM ONLY THREE IN 2000 AND THEY BELIEVE THE ENDEAVORS AT ORANG UTAN ISLAND WILL GREATLY ASSIST IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE BORNEAN ORANGUTAN.
