Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center, Borneo

This rehabilitation center is the largest of four orangutan rehab centers in the world. The mission of the center is to retrieve abandoned young orangutans that are usually found in palm oil plantations, test for diseases and quarantine and then teach the youngsters all they need to know to become independent in the wild. It is a great educational facility as well which gives visitors a better understanding of why the rainforests are important in a land that is rapidly cutting them down.
