Respect The Jungle, Protect The Wildlife
EVERYDAY
Respect The Orangutans & Wildlife
Observe, Do Not Disturb
Seeing Sumatran orangutans in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. However, protecting their behavior and environment is our priority.
During your trek:
✓ Keep a safe and respectful distance from animals
✓ Never feed orangutans or other wildlife
✓ Avoid touching wild animals
✓ Do not make loud noises near animals
✓ Follow your guide’s instructions at all times
Wild animals should remain wild. Responsible observation helps protect them for future generations.
