MORE foreigners visit the 14ha Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island than the locals, said Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation chairman Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar.

In a bid to increase local awareness on the welfare of orangutans at the laketown resort in Semanggol, Perak, an Orangutan Awareness Walk will be held at Penang City Park (Youth Park) on Nov 5.
