The Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre was founded in 1964 to rehabilitate orphaned Orang Utans. The site consists of 45sq. km of protected land at the edge of the Kabili Sepilok Forrest Reserve. The facility provides medical care for orphaned Orang Utans as well as other wildlife species including sun bears, gibbons, sumatran rhinos and the occasional injured pygmy elephant. At the Centre, a buddy system is used to replace the natural teaching of a mother, by pairing a younger Orang Utan with an older one to help develop the skills it would need to survive when reintroduced into the wild. The Centre believes that the message of conservation must be spread and it is open to visitors daily. The Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary offers another perfect Proboscis monkeys observation spot for any tourist who wants to have a closer look at these very special monkey especially those who do not have the time to travel too far away to watch them. The Sanctuary is located at the center of the mangrove forest along the coastal land near Samawang Village in Labuk Bay, Sandakan, Sabah. From the airport, it is 38km away and takes about an hour to get there. Part of the trip will be through the graveled roads through plantation estates.
