The Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) is a vital sanctuary dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of the world’s smallest bear species, the Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), also known as the honey bear. Located in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, this nonprofit organisation is committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sun bears that have been orphaned, injured, or kept in captivity.
Guided tours at the Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC), the world’s only sun bear conservation centre, led by knowledgeable staff offer insights into sun bear biology, behaviour, and the centre’s conservation efforts. Wildlife viewing from designated areas provides a respectful way to observe rescued sun bears in their naturalistic enclosures. Interpretive exhibits showcase sun bear ecology, conservation challenges, and the importance of protecting these iconic creatures. There are volunteer opportunities for those who want to stay longer, to help with animal care, habitat maintenance, and research projects.
