DISCOVERING BORNEO'S RAINFOREST 🇲🇾 BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL SANCTUARIES IN SEPILOK

[vaga-muffin]

I interrupt the regularly scheduled programming to show you this large cicada that was in my room. I heard knocking outside in the night and thought it was a good idea to check on my clothes outside my door. Then this THING that I thought might've been a bat flew into my room and hid behind the AC unit. I told myself I would let it out when it wakes up. So we both slept...in the morning I heard it move and saw it fly. Then it landed on the window. The biggest cicada I have ever seen. I went through DC cicadas last year! I found a broom and he clumsily fell heavily on his back and I used the broom to drag him out. Please no more oversized insects.

⁣ Sabah, Borneo. ⁣ One thing which was very easy to see from the airplane was the large areas of land cleared for Palm Oil. Many of those unsustainable Palm Oil plantations make a large area of the countryside in Borneo. ⁣ Sadly those areas are home to many animals like the Orang Utan. Less primary rainforests means less food and home for this Great Ape, which is then forced to forage for food at plantations, where they could be killed or captured. ⁣ Another problem is hunting or illegal wildlife trade. That is where the @sepilokorangutan Rehabilitation Centre comes into play. ⁣ Rescued orphaned baby orang utans are trained here to survive again in the wild and released into large rainforest reserves like Kabili-Sepilok Forest. ⁣ As of now about 60-80 Orang Utans live in the reserve. These guys are doing a great job and they are badly needed. ⁣ Over the past 16 years, more than 150.000 Orang Utans have been lost all over Borneo. ⁣ The current number of Orang Utans ( People of the Forest) is at only 70.000-100.000 and could drop by another 45.000 over the next 30 years of not more conservation efforts are done. ⁣ ⁣ Swipe through my photos and have a closer look, isn’t this beautiful, very human like animal, worth the effort? ⁣ What do you think? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #orangutans #orangutang #orangutan #saveorangutan #sepilok #sepilokorangutanrehabilitationcentre #greatape #greatapes #ape #apes #wildlifeconservation #animalconservation #palmoil #unsustainable #borneoisland #protecttheearth #natgeoyourshot #natgeotraveller #conservation #animals_in_world #animalsanctuary #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehab #naturehub #natures_hub #bealpha #wildlifeperfection #wildlifeofinstagram #beautifulanimals #beautifulanimal (at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HdeBUhEZ-/?igshid=830s3d52xud5
