About Kinabatangan Orang Utan Conservation Project

Kinabatangan Orang Utan Conservation Project is a scientific project to maintain a harmonious habitat for the orang utan. It is located in Sukau, in the Kinabatangan area. The project was established in 1988 by HUTAN, a non-governmental organisation based in France that worked with the Sabah Wildlife Department with the objective of creating a stable environment for the orang utan.

The project team comprises 35 trained staff drawn from the local Kinabatangan community. Tourists are welcome to visit the project. You can go there through Red Ape Encounters, or RAE, the community-based orang utan ecotourism organisation.
