Small Bear, Big Message

On 13–14 June 2026, our team, together with BSBCC Japan, successfully participated in a series of events at the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MATiC), Kuala Lumpur, and Kinokuniya Suria KLCC.

The events featured exhibitions, art workshops, and storytelling sessions by the author of Kipaku: The Little Bornean Sun Bear, sharing the inspiring story of Borneo’s smallest bear and the importance of wildlife conservation.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with visitors, artists, book lovers, and supporters while raising awareness about sun bear conservation.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the events. A special thank you to the organizers for the invitation and for providing such meaningful platforms for learning, creativity, and conservation awareness.
