Volunteers Review the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Sanctuary in Borneo | The Great Projects


After the Sumatra island, the Borneo island is the only place in the world which is a foster home for the endangered wild Orangutans. These creatures have taken shelter in the dense rainforests of the island and can be spotted while taking a river cruise along the Kinabatangan river. Apart from this the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre located at East Sabah is another popular place where one can spot these Orangutans.




Borneo — known for its rainforests, orangutans, the famous dive site of Sipadan, and the soaring peak at Mount Kinabalu — is a wonder to visit for the curious traveler. Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and is surrounded by the Java Sea to the south, the Celebes Sea to the east, and the South China Sea to the north. It is made up of four political regions: Sabah and Sarawak, two Malaysian states; Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia; and the small sultan state of Brunei.


Borneo, the third-largest island in the world, is a popular tourist destination known for its diverse culture, stunning natural landscapes, and unique wildlife. The island is divided into three countries: Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia. Each country offers a variety of attractions for tourists to explore.
