A rehabilitation program for orangutans was created at the site in 1975. By 1990 there was a growing population of semi-wild orangutans. Due to the small size of the site, the rehabilitation program was moved to Matang Wildlife Centre in 1998. Since the year 2000, Semenggoh Wildlife Centre has been used for the quarantine and transit of wildlife before being sent to Matang. The wildlife centre is still active in conservation awareness and education for schools and the public (Tisen & Silang 2016).

Ecotourism at the site brings both benefits and challenges; the main challenge is to ensure large numbers of tourists stay at the permitted distance from orangutans in the occasions when orangutans appear by the road in the reserve and not on the feeding platforms (Azizi Bin Ahmad Zaini pers. comm. 2023).
