a) The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) will create

a new facility to house and rehabilitate the 20-30 young orphaned

and captive sun bears in Borneo living in substandard conditions

with no access to outdoor areas and no present hope of returning

to the wild.

natural forest enclosures in existing primary and

secondary forest at Sepilok Forest Reserve in Sabah,Malaysian Borneo.

c) The BSBCC will promote sun bear conservation by:

Creating the capacity to rehabilitate and release suitable

orphaned and ex-captive bears back into the wild.Providing improved long-term living environment for captive bears that cannot be released,Educating the public and raising awareness about this

species, currently listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.Releasing these bears will also increase genetic diversityand viability of sun bear populations in Borneo.
