I felt that the guide was very professional and kind. She made sure I was informed and asked lots of interesting questions. The sights are magnificent. The animals were lovely and I’m so happy I was able to contribute to their wellbeing through animal adoption.

Sun Bear Conservation Centre FAQs

What is the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC)?
The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) is a non-profit organization based in Sabah, Malaysia, dedicated to the conservation of the sun bear, the smallest bear species in the world. The BSBCC aims to rescue, rehabilitate, and release sun bears back into the wild while also promoting public awareness and education about the species.
How does the BSBCC help sun bears?

In addition, the BSBCC conducts research on sun bears to better understand their behavior, ecology, and needs, and works with local communities to promote conservation and education about the species.
What are the threats facing sun bears?
Sun bears face a number of threats, including habitat loss due to deforestation, hunting for their body parts (which are used in traditional medicine), and capture for the illegal pet trade. As human populations and development continue to encroach on sun bear habitat, the need for conservation efforts like those provided by the BSBCC becomes increasingly urgent.
