4 Matang Wildlife Centre

Location
Matang Wildlife Centre is located at the western edge of Kubah National Park. The Centre measures 189 ha.

Animals
Rainforest animals are kept here. They have been confiscated, orphaned or surrendered by the public. There are animals such as Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), Macaque (Macaca spec.), Binturong (Arctictis binturong), Clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), birds and reptiles.
The aim is to release many of them as soon as they have skills to survive in their original habitats. If they cannot return, they are kept for educational purposes.
