Beautiful Bears being looked after by great staff members who really care.
We were so impressed by the orangutan center across the road that we went to the Sun Bear Conservation Center. After seeing countless orangutans, we saw three bears, like us, struggling to escape the heat! More exciting, we saw two pythons up close, parked on a tree next to the boardwalk. On our way out of the center, an adult orangutan walked in front of us without incident. It even posed for pictures! Wow, this is a lifelong experience! If you are going to the Sipchori orangutan Conservation Center, I totally recommend going to see the Borneo Sun Bear. The bear is well taken care of. You don’t need to stay here for a long time. There are tips and HD videos. Probably not more than an hour.
Bears and monkeys are a big sight. Especially when bears climb up to 40 feet up a tree. The aim is to return the bear back to the wild, and talking to any staff member will show their concern for the bear. Because of their small size, they have become victims of the pet trade and the centre is doing its utmost to reduce the damage.
The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) is a sun bear rescue and rehabilitation facility being developed in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.
This Sun Bear Censervation Centre place is like a rehabilitation and research centre in order to protect and improvise their species.It's sad to see most of them being killed long time ago for their skin or any valueable parts to be sell as a fossil items. They are known to be temporarily closed for any visits.
