Back to the Wild

This programme offers students the exciting opportunity to partner in an on-going conservation project to rehabilitate and release orangutans and sun bears back to the wild.

Whilst living at the rescue centre students will engage with real conservationists who will share their passion about the wildlife of Borneo through jungle walks, activities and presentation sessions. Students will also have the chance to learn and practise the scientific skills vital to these conservation efforts such as habitat surveys and behavioural data collection.

The highlight of this trip for most students is the chance to make a real impact on the conservation of species like orangutans and sun bears by taking part in personal impact activities like working to improve the enclosures and creating enrichment toys for the animals. Coming up close with some of the world’s most endangered animals whilst helping to ensure their survival truly makes this a school trip to remember!
