Tanjung Puting National Park of Borneo
Tanjung Puting Park holds a special place in the history of wildlife conservation in Indonesia as it was the first location to be designated as an orangutan rehabilitation center. This milestone was achieved in 1971 with the establishment of Camp Leakey by Dr. Birute Galdikas, a pioneering figure in primate research. Today, there are three active rehabilitation centers within the park, namely Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui, and Camp Leakey, each playing a crucial role in the care and recovery of orphaned and injured orangutans. The park is not only a sanctuary for these great apes but also a vital habitat for a wide range of endangered and protected wildlife species that call the rainforests of Borneo home. Among the many fascinating creatures found in the area are the Bornean orangutan (Pongo satyrus), the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), the maroon leaf monkey (Presbytis rubicunda rubida), the sun bear (Helarctos malayanus euryspilus), the Lesser Malay mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus klossii), the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), and the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis borneoensis). These species thrive in the dense and diverse ecosystems of the park, making it an essential area for biodiversity conservation.
