The Masterplan for the Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre imagines the centre from the viewpoints of both its shareholders- the orang-utans and the tourists. It imagines compatible activities that could be designed into the centre, giving a richer experience to visitors and an improved rehabilitation experience to the orang-utans. It also asks the question; how will the role of Sepilok change as the number of orang-utans needing rehabilitation declines?
The masterplan proposal is presented as a cartoon strip.
