orangutan sanctuary
Primate rehabilitation center
An orangutan sanctuary is a protected facility dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of orangutans, typically those orphaned, injured, or rescued from illegal captivity.
Most sanctuaries aim to return orangutans to the wild, though some provide permanent homes for animals too habituated to humans.
The Borneo orangutan sanctuary teaches young orphans to forage and climb before release.
