Noah

Noah, one of the sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, a sun bear rescue and rehabilitation facility being developed in Sabah. Sun bears are the smallest bears in the world and are only found in Southeast Asia. These bears continue to be threatened by forest degradation, illegal hunting for bear parts and poaching to obtain young cubs for pet trade. The results of these threats has caused young sun bears found to be living in unnatural captive conditions in Sabah, with no access to outdoor areas. There are currently 41 rescued ex-captive sun bears residing at the BSBCC and 2 juveniles at our camp in Tabin Wildlife Reserve. The facility includes large forest enclosures to provide a natural environment suited to the needs and welfare of the sun bears and facilitate their rehabilitation back into the wild.
