Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary is a large protected area on the island of
Borneo in
Sarawak,
Malaysia. It is significant for
orangutan conservation. Together with
Batang Ai National Park these protected areas host 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".
