Camp Leakey is the research centre for the Orang-utan Foundation International (OFI) rehabilitation programme. What started out as just two small huts is now a fully functioning research facility where all of the research the OFI conducts on orang-utans is done. The camp now consists of about 19 miles of trails, rainforest and swamp land for the rehabilitated and wild orang-utans that have made their home there. The Camp takes in ex-captive, hurt and orphaned orangutans and they are tended for and, if possible, rehabilitated back into the wild. You can visit the Camp by local boat, called a klotok, to view the feeding of these magnificent animals and take a walk through the rainforest in search of the wild inhabitants.

Tanjung Puting National Park, located in central Kalimantan province, is made up of over 400,000 hectares of diverse forest. The park was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1977 and a national park in 1982. In addition to orang-utans and proboscis monkeys, the park is also home to gibbons, macaques, clouded leopards, sun bears, wild boars, porcupines and Sambar deer. Today, Tanjung Puting National Park is a popular eco-tourism destination, where you can enjoy boat tours to view the wildlife and visit one of the four wildlife research centres.
