Lockdown update for Sepilok
The state of Sabah is under full lockdown again until at least 9th November 2020. The government has imposed a Movement Control Order, which means Sepilok is closed to the public and its borders are closed to many countries, including the UK.
Rest assured that during this difficult time our dedicated staff are continuing to work at Sepilok caring for all the orangutans at the Centre.
