Pondok Tanggui Orangutan Rehabilitation Tanjung Puting Park

Tanjung Puting National Park was established in 1970 as the first protected area in Indonesia specifically dedicated to the conservation of orangutans. Over the years, it has grown into a vital part of orangutan rescue and rehabilitation efforts, with three main centers now helping these animals: Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui, and Camp Leakey.
Located in Central Kalimantan on the island of Indonesian Borneo, the park is home to both semi-wild and wild orangutans, surrounded by the lush and dense primeval rainforest.
The park's rich biodiversity showcases an incredible array of flora and fauna, ranging from coastal mangrove swamps and lowland rainforests to thickly covered jungles. The wildlife found here is truly unique, with species like the orangutan, which are only found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, as well as the endemic proboscis monkey. Other fascinating creatures that call the park home include clouded leopards, leaf monkeys, macaques, pangolins, anteaters, tiny tarsiers, various lizards, crocodiles, pythons, and more than 600 species of birds. Some of the most well-known bird species in the area include sunbirds, pheasants, kakatua parrots, and hornbills. This area is not just a place of natural beauty but also a key site for preserving the delicate balance of life in one of the world's most important ecosystems.
