Tanjung Puting National Park and Its Orangutan Conservation

As derived from the Malay language the word Orang Utan means “Man of the Forest”. This is so true because we humans share almost 96% of our genetic formation with Orangutans. Orangutans are seen only in Indonesia and Malaysia – on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The Bornean species of orangutans are known as Pongo Pygmaeus that is further divided into 3 subspecies – Pongo Pygmaeus Pygmaeus, Pongo Pygmaeus Morio and Pongo Pygmaeus Wurmbii.

In terms of look the Bornean orangutans have a large pendulous throat sac and rounder face, and they are relatively stouter than Sumatran Orangutans. The orangutans have a well-developed brain and hence are very intelligent. However, the sad thing is these red apes are becoming endangered with time due to different forms of deforestation, so there are several modern orangutan conservation programs that are being organized and run in Borneo by modern nature-loving groups with the help of educated locals.

Tanjung Puting National Park

Tanjung Putting National Park is a protected national park in Indonesia. Since some portions of this national park are getting degraded, there is an increasing threat to the wildlife, especially the endangered orangutans. This is why there are various orangutan conservation programs are being organized by different NGOs and tours and travel operators. Borneo Travel is one such travel agency that has been working towards the security of these endangered species. It’s been providing substantial awareness education to the locals so as to conserve the natural eco-system and wildlife of Borneo – the most wonderful and primitive wildlife found on the planet. www.borneo-travel.com also offers customized itineraries to the tourists that wish for a magnificent Borneo trip.
