EERace 25

The EERace is an environmental education programme held annually in the heart of Borneo districts of Sabah and it is organized by the Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) under the Sabah Forestry Department, together with many government and private organizations. This year, the 25th Environmental Education Race (EERace) has once again chosen BSBCC as one of the pit stops in this race.

​
On the 5th of October, the Group M of EERace25 had stopped at BSBCC to complete their final task in this race. They were given a pre-assignment task where they needed to label the distribution of sun bear species in the world. After that, they were given a short talk on BSBCC’s roles and efforts in sun bear conservation, followed by assignment 1, where they needed to do role-playing based on the situation given. For their second assignment, they need to observe the sun bear's behaviour and relate it to the roles of sun bears in the forest. For the third assignment, they need to do enrichment for the sun bear. For their final task, they need to arrange the puzzles given and guess the name of the bear. It seems to be a new experience for the teachers as it is their first time visiting BSBCC. It was great to see all of them enjoying their time at our centre. We are excited for more exciting activities at the upcoming EERACE! See you again.
