'Borneo Backpacking' - Sandakan - Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary

Описание: The Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre, located in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia, is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of the world’s smallest bear species, the Malayan sun bear. Established to protect bears that were once kept illegally as pets or affected by deforestation, the centre provides them with a safe and natural forest environment to heal and learn survival skills. Visitors can observe the sun bears from elevated walkways as they climb trees, forage, and explore their surroundings. The centre also plays a vital role in educating the public about the importance of wildlife protection and rainforest conservation. Each rescued bear is given specialized care and rehabilitation with the goal of returning it to the wild when possible.

The facility’s design allows the bears to live freely in large forest enclosures that resemble their natural habitat. In addition to sun bears, the centre supports research on Borneo’s rainforest ecosystem. It collaborates with local and international conservation groups to promote sustainable environmental practices. The Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre stands as a symbol of hope for endangered wildlife. It reminds visitors of the importance of protecting nature and the species that depend on it.
