I was lucky enough to visit the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC). BSBCC is currently home to 35 rescued bears. Their mission as stated on their website is to promote sun bear conservation in Borneo through animal welfare, conservation, rehabilitation, education and research - giving captured sun bears a better home and restoring their right to live in the wild, by: Creating the capacity to confiscate, rehabilitate and release suitable orphaned and ex-captive bears back into the wild. Providing an improved long-term living environment for captive bears that cannot be released. Educating the public and raising awareness about this species. Achieving increased protection for sun bears and their habitat through ongoing research, increased knowledge and awareness, and further protection of habitat. The centre is beautiful, the bears live in fantastic forested enclosures where they are able to engage in natural behaviours. Visitors are able to observe the bears from viewing platforms. Wong and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and engaging with visitors. There are many ways you can help BSBCC which are outlined on their website. bsbcc.org.my/volunteer.html bsbcc.org.my/adopt-a-bear.html
