Batang Ai National Park

Batang Ai National Park is part of the region's largest trans-national protected area for tropical rainforest conservation. Adjacent to the Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary in Malaysia and the Betung Kerihun National Park in Indonesia, these protected areas form a sanctuary for many endangered species of wildlife, such as the Borneo orang utan. It is estimated that population of over 1,000 orang utans dwell in this sanctuary. As part of its conservation efforts, only a portion of the Batang Ai National Park is open to visitors, who may be able to catch sight of a wild orang utan in its natural surroundings. Although the park holds the highest orang utan population density in central Borneo, visitors must remember that this alone does not guarantee a sighting of this magnificent creature, and all viewing experiences are a bonus to their visit.
