Rasa Ria Nature Reserve and Orang Utan Rehabilitation program

The 64 acres nature reserve was established with the aim of educating and promoting conservation.
The Rasa Ria Nature Reserve was established by Shangri-La’s Rasa Ria Resort in collaboration with the State Wildlife Department of Sabah.

This protected ecological space aims to facilitate rehabilitation programmes for endangered species of animals as well as those endemic in Sabah. The Rasa Ria Nature Reserve provides a home until they ready to be rehabilitated into their natural habitat.

The main focal point is the young orphaned orang utans and providing a platform to educate on conservation. They had various programs at the nature reserve including nocturnal activities.
When I brought my guests for a visit on 26 April 2013, there were 4 orang utans under the stage 1 rehabilitation program.
