The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1964 to return orphaned "apes back to the wild.
The centre was being administered by the wildlife section of the Forestry Department which in 1988 was upgraded as a department under the Ministry of Tourism and Environmental Development.
