The team of caretakers, reduced by half the number for the MCO period from the original 50, remains committed to the daunting task of ensuring the wellbeing and safety of the over 40 orangutans.
She said the orangutans are omnivores and feed on more than 300 species of plants, wild fruits, barks and insects.“We have sufficient supply of food for the orangutans, with the exception of certain local fruits such as papaya and guava because our suppliers come from as far as Lahad Datu and there is a travel restriction between districts during the MCO.
“Sepilok started implementing the need for personal protective equipment in 2012, meaning we have foot and tyre baths as well as hand sanitisers for visitors to disinfect their hands before entering the centre. “With regard to the PPE, it is important to stress how Sepilok has taken orangutan welfare as its top priority while allowing eco-tourism to thrive.
She said a supervisor of OAUK is stationed at the centre to assist the staff there to keep life as normal as possible for the orangutans. It also receives additional funding from the visitors entrance fees and non-government organisations such as OAUK to improve the equipment and facilities at the centre.
