SM St. Dominic Lahad Datu Visit to BSBCC (26 June 2019)

28/6/2019


The sixth month of 2019 is getting close to an end, and the tourist peak season is setting in. Despite of the hectic situation at BSBCC, the EE Team welcomed a visit from SM St. Dominic Lahad Datu for an educational visit where they had the chance to see a real sun bears in the forest. Prior to that, they were briefed about the sun bears, their behaviours, roles in the rainforest, threats on them and law on their conservation to ensure the students gained information beside of enjoying the view of the beautiful creatures. Although it was a quick visit, it is our biggest pleasure to entertain the group as we are be able to share the loves to the sun bears with the students. Thanks for the visit, SM St. Dominic.

Mr. Haniff explaining the reasons behind the nicknames of the Helarctos malayanus; sun bear, honey bear and dog bear; sun bears does looks like dogs at a glance, but they are not dogs!


It was a good cloudy day today; the bears are visible nearby.




Now going to the second platform.

What's the size of a sun bear frontal paw?

"Look! There's a sun bear on a tree!”



The visit ended happily and nicely, filled with joy and information.

The accompanying teachers handed certificate of appreciation to Ms. Yvonne on behalf of BSBCC.
