About Tombi

Tombi was very poorly when he arrived at Sepilok aged 2 years old weighing just 3kg. His name means 'Spirit of the Forest' in Malay.

How adoptions help

Symbolic adoptions are an engaging way to contribute towards conserving the critically endangered Bornean orangutan by following the progress of a rescued individual at Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.

Your contribution will go towards supporting various projects and initiatives which are all aimed at protecting and preserving these animals and their habitats in Borneo. This approach means that all the orangutans at Sepilok receive support and allows us to allocate resources where they are needed most, including rescue efforts, habitat restoration and our education and outreach programme.

We receive regular information from our care staff at Sepilok on each orangutan's progress, this allows us to provide you with a progress report on your adopted orangutan every six months.
