2026-09-12 Hyatt Regency Kinabalu visit

Today, we welcomed 14 team members from Hyatt Regency Kinabalu for a fun and hands-on visit to BSBCC! Following last week’s Wildlife Discovery Weekend at their hotel, this visit continued our collaboration through sharing sessions and an enrichment activity for our rescued sun bears.

The group learned more about sun bear behaviour, observed the bears at the platform, and prepared enrichment for Rudy, whom Hyatt Regency Kinabalu has adopted under our My Bear Adoption Programme. It was wonderful to see Rudy exploring her enrichment! They also had the chance to provide enrichment for other rescued sun bears, making the visit both enjoyable and educational.

Thank you, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, for your continued support and collaboration. We look forward to more meaningful activities together!

2026-09-11 WWF Malaysia, the Asia Pacific 30 (AP30) Sabah Visit Programme

Yesterday, we welcomed a delegation from WWF Malaysia to BSBCC as part of the Asia Pacific 30 (AP30) Sabah Visit Programme. The delegation comprised representatives from conservation organisations and WWF Asia Pacific partners, led by Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Wahid Omar, the Chairman.

Dr. Wong Siew Te met the group at the entrance and shared insights about BSBCC and sun bears through our informative signage. The group then visited the observation platform to see our rescued sun bears. It was a meaningful opportunity for knowledge sharing and exchanging experiences among conservation organisations and partners.

Thank you to WWF Malaysia and the AP30 delegation for visiting BSBCC!
