As guests to the rainforest help us protect our environment by respecting and enjoying it responsibly. Please ensure you pick up litter and do not leave anything behind as it can harm the wildlife.
It must be stressed that physical contact or feeding orangutans is prohibited. Orangutans are vulnerable to human diseases due to them being 96.4% genetically similar to humans. As they do not have the required immune system to fight these infections it can make them ill or even lead to fatalities.
