students and a teacher from the plantation's Community Learning Centre, 8
students and a teacher from Taska Kemas, 10 students and a teacher from SK
Tanjung Nipis and 9 students and 2 teachers from Tadika SK Bawang K9.
Talks on wildlife protection laws, orangutan rehabilitation
and sun bear conservation efforts were presented by the Sabah Wildlife

activities were also held for the students participated in the programme.
We would like to thank Ladang Meridian Sdn Bhd for their
hospitality and opportunity for our team to share about the importance of
wildlife conservation among their staff and the surrounding schools.
BSBCC welcomed a kindergarten school visit from Tabika Kemas Jabatan Penjara, Sandakan today. A total of 54 students and 8 teachers along with the students' parents arrived here at 9am to learn about sun bears and the forest.
The students were given worksheets to mark animals, insects
or plants they around the observation platforms. Sun bear Noah was seen resting
on a tree stump as they arrived, while Fulung was seen standing on his hind
legs exposing his beautiful chestmark. We also spotted a pit viper resting on a
twig beside our boardwalk!
We hope the students learnt a lot today, and hope to see
them again next time!
On the 25th of June until 27th of June 2024, BSBCC has been invited to the district of Telupid to participate in the Heart of Borneo Programme organised by the Rainforest Discovery Centre (Educational of Sabah Forestry Department).

Participants from the three villages attended talks from all exhibitors and visited our exhibition booths. In conclusion, we engaged a total of 6 villages and 7 schools in a time frame of 3 days, thanks to the invitation from Sabah Forestry Department. It is a big achievement for us, and we hope we are able to do more continuously in the future.
