Area 1,870 km² Established 1983 | Governing body Forest Department | |
The Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary is situated on the island of Borneo, in Malaysia. It covers 1,870km², and is significant for orangutan conservation. Together with Batang Ai National Park these protected areas contain an estimated 1,400 orangutans. Hunting and illegal logging are only minor problems in these areas, but could become serious if not monitored, especially because the areas are contiguous with Indonesia, where illegal logging is rampant.
Together with the Betung Kerihun National Park in Indonesia, it has been proposed to form a World Heritage Site named the "Transborder Rainforest Heritage of Borneo".
