Today on the 26th October 2019, BSBCC received two visits from two different schools; SK Jeroco, Lahad Datu and SK Wakuba, Tawau. They came simultaneously; they enjoyed watching the bears as the weather was cloudy with brief shower. A good way to educate the kids is by showing them the real wildlife in front of them; it can develop loves and make them care about them. Thank you to both schools for the visits.

We would like to say thank you to Tabika KEMAS Rancangan Nangoh and SJK (C) Syn Hua, Sandakan for the visit today! As usual, the groups were given briefing by Madam Gloria (Tabika KEMAS Rancangan Nangoh) and also Ms Yvonne and our volunteer Ms Alicia (SJK (C) Syn Hua). They were happy to see the rescued bears around the forest enclosures. We hope they had a great time here and gained some new knowledge about Sun Bears, while helping us to spread awareness by sharing experiences with their friends and family! Once again, thanks for coming to visit us!

Thanks for today's visit, SK Bandar Sandakan! It was quite a busy month with lots of student groups coming to our centre, since it's approaching the end of this year's school term. 36 students and accompanying teachers of the school's Nature Club came to BSBCC today, all eager to see and learn about the sun bear. The group were given briefing by Ms Melynda, our Education Unit staff before guiding them to the bear observation platforms. The students were then given Sun Bear Explorer workbook each, to deepen their understanding on Sun Bears and their habitats. The visit ended with group photo in BSBCC's garden, before the group continue their journey to RDC for their next environmental activities.

Today on 20th October 2019, we got a visit from a small group of Primary 6 students from SK Sangau, Kinabatangan. As usual, the group handled was briefed about the safety precautions before touring up to the observation platforms. Guided by a staff from BSBCC EE Unit, they were briefed about the sun bears and their conservation whilst walking to the platforms. Lots of bears showed up; they were filled with excitement. As happy as they are, we are very happy to entertain the visit and hope the message will be spread out there to protect the sun bear and our wildlife.
