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.
