2025-05-14 MOTAC Visit

It is a great privilege and honour to extend our heartfelt gratitude to YB Datuk Seri Panglima Christina Liew, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Sabah, and the esteemed delegates for visiting the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) today.

Dr. Wong Siew Te, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BSBCC, warmly welcomed the delegation and personally conducted a guided tour from the entrance to the observation platform, offering insights into the Centre’s work and the sun bears’ natural behaviours. We are especially delighted that this meaningful visit will help further promote the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre and highlight the sun bear as a symbolic mascot for Visit Malaysia 2026.

2025-05-03 Pangolin Awareness Day @ Sandakan State Library

Pangolin Awareness Day was celebrated today at the Sandakan State Library! The event, organised by Pangolin Aware, featured informative talks by Pangolin Aware and the Sabah Wildlife Department, captivating storytelling, an exciting quest, coloring competitions, and interactive exhibitions — all aimed at raising awareness about the endangered pangolin. BSBCC was also invited to set up an exhibition booth as this event is another good opportunity to spread awareness on sun bears and the other wildlife. It was a wonderful day of learning and fun for primary and secondary school children, as well as the general public. Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting pangolin conservation and ultimately, the wildlife and the nature!
