Park Tanjung Puting is covered by a complex mosaic of lowland habitats, like
nipa palms, mangrove forests, tropical rainforest and lakes. This amazing
mosaic is home to a diverse fauna and flora. There is a relatively high
population of primates. However Tanjung Puting is foremost known for its
orangutan center. These big red apes that once lived in captivity are taught
how to live in their natural environment again.
