Bornean SUN BEAR Conservation Center.

The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) is a sun bear rescue and rehabilitation facility being developed in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Sun bears are the smallest bears in the world and are only found in Southeast Asia. These bears continue to be threatened by forest degradation, illegal hunting for bear parts, and poaching to obtain young cubs for the pet trade. The results of these threats have caused young sun bears to be found living in unnatural captive conditions in Sabah, with no access to outdoor areas. There are currently 42 rescued ex-captive sun bears residing at the BSBCC and 3 juveniles at our camp in Tabin Wildlife Reserve. The facility includes large forest enclosures to provide a natural environment suited to the needs and welfare of the sun bears and facilitate their rehabilitation back into the wild. ​In 2014, the Centre opened to the public. Visitors can learn about sun bears and observe them in their natural habitat.
