- Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation - Visit to Orang Utan Island will convince anyone why the orangutan has endeared itself as a symbol of Malaysia.
A 35-acre island nestled within the idyllic setting of Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, an eco-friendly 7000-acre freshwater lakeside vacation getaway in Semanggol, Perak.
Since its inception in 2000, Orang Utan Island has progressed from being a sanctuary, where visitors experienced first-hand awareness and education on the orangutan, to a recognised ex-situ conservation facility and referral centre for the endangered Bornean orangutan.
Scientists have come to study how Orang Utan Island has managed to have a population of 24 orangutans today from only three in 2000 and they believe the endeavours at Orang Utan Island will greatly assist in the conservation of the Bornean orangutan.
