Sarawak Orangutans Found Only In Three Specific Habitats
SIBU, March 28 (Bernama) -- The Sarawak Orang Utan are only found in three specific habitats and not all over the state jungles, Dr.Penguang Manggil, permanent secretary to the Ministry of Environment and Public Health said.
The Orang Utan in Sarawak were only found in the Lantjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary, the Batang Ai National Park and the Sebuyau National Park, he said to correct the misconception that they existed everywhere.
He said the misconception had caused westerners to believe that the animals were adversely affected by economic development, namely the creation of more oil palm plantations statewide.
