The Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre is an example of managed nature. It is a place in which a person is able to relate to the animals, learn more about them, be aware of conservation messages and what can they do to help them.

The centre also has an information centre to educate its visitors. According to Schultz and Tabanico (2007), research has found that visitors leaving a zoo had higher ratings of connection with nature in comparison to first entering. It was assumed that this can be applied to the centre as well. By making the centre open to the public, visitors are in close proximity to the animals. And with the help of the information centre, it also allows visitors to broaden their knowledge on conservation issues. Moreover, it also helps in strengthening conservation beliefs, connection with nature and having them reassess their behaviour on the impact of conservation issues (Clayton & Myers, 2009). The centre will also generate awareness in the role they can play to help in saving the endangered orang-utans. And that regardless of how small their action is, will contribute towards conserving the orang-utans. It is seen as a place appropriate for contributing to the ongoing process of learning about the orang-utan population and its conservation issues. This allow visitors to understand the seriousness of the issues faced by the orang-utans and to reflect on their responsibilities to the natural world.
