Matang Wildlife Sanctuary

Matang Wildlife Sanctuary is a sanctuary and a rehabilitation center for animal that have been confiscated from the public. The confiscated animal are actually in the protected and totally protected list under the Sarawak Government.

This Sanctuary is to rehabilitate the confiscated animal so that it can be release back into the jungle. The good thing of this center is that most of the big cage are build under the tree canopy thus it has minimum impact on the environment when it was build.

Please be inform that Matang Wildlife is not a zoo but a wildlife santuary thus do not expect all kinds of animal are hosted here.

Another picture of Aman, the orang utan.


Aman is over looking the whole area. I guess he is interested with the female orang utan at the next pan. I will post more pictures of the animal from Matang Wildlife Santuary

  1. I've been there twice. The first one was a daily trip, the second one was overnight at the hostel. That place is wonderful bro. I saw a few orang utan too. I don't remember seeing aman. Maybe he wasn't there at that time.

  2. I love your pics of Aman the Great....

    Orangutans are critically endangered in the wild because of rapid deforestation and the expansion of palm oil plantations.

    If nothing is done to protect these majestic creatures, they could be extinct in just a few years.
