Sintang Orangutan Center and Betung Kerihun National Park
In Kapuas Hulu, the Betung Kerihun National Park has become
a sanctuary for orangutans. After successful rehabilitation at the Jerora
Forest School by the Sintang Orangutan Center, they now find a safe and
harmonious haven in the protected wilderness. Join us in preserving the lives
of orangutans and the environment.
Sintang Orangutan Center
Sintang Orangutan Center, situated in Sintang, West
Kalimantan, is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of
orangutans. With a strong focus on conservation, we play a crucial role in
protecting these endangered primates. Through education and empowerment
programs, we engage communities in safeguarding orangutan habitats for a
sustainable future.

the sole great apes in the region. Found only in Indonesia (Kalimantan,
Sumatra) and Malaysia (Sarawak). Indonesia boasts Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus) and
Sumatran (Pongo abelii) orangutans, along with the rare Tapanuli Orangutan
(Pongo tapanuliensis).
