We're off to Sepilok, the famous Orangutan Sanctuary situated in the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve in Borneo.
We also visit the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary which is located at the centre of the mangrove forest along the coast of Borneo. In 1994, while embarking on Oil Palm Plantation development near the mangrove swamps of the present sanctuary, the owner of the site came to know of the proboscis monkeys living there. Fascinated, he learned more about the monkeys and their predicament. The 400 acre plot was originally bought for commercial development, but thankfully the owner changed his mind and protected the the mangrove forest for these monkeys so that can continue to survive there without fear of losing their natural habitat. As the sources of the food for these monkeys had much dwindled, efforts were made to supplement the monkeys’ diet with fruits and water daily to ensure the conservation of these animals. Today over 60 monkeys comes regularly for their meals.
