Community Field Trip from Kg. Dagat Kinabatangan to Sepilok Sandakan

On the 21st to 23rd of February 2024, BSBCC organised a Community Field Trip from Kg. Dagat Kinabatangan to Sepilok Sandakan. We already reached out to this community in January 2023 to give them some exposure to wildlife conservation. About 20 participants, including 2 students of SK Tidung joined in this field trip. They were brought to visit the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. The purpose of this field trip is to enhance their understanding of the groundwork of governmental organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in protecting wildlife species and their habitat.

Special thanks to WWF-Malaysia for their sponsorship of this programme. Also, to Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre and Rainforest Discovery Centre, Sepilok for the guided tour throughout the visit. Not to forget the community of Kg. Dagat Kinabatangan for their involvement and making this trip a success.
