A total of 6 bears were sent to BSBCC in 2016. Wawa, a 4-month-old female was found alone at Forest Management Unit (FMU) 16 Pinangah, Telupid and was sent to BSBCC on 18th March 2016. On 27th April two adult sun bears, Along (6-year-old male) and Simone (8-year-old female) arrived. Both were rescued from the Tawau Hot Spring Mini Zoo. Dodop, a 1-year-old female from Singgaron village, Ranau was handed over to SWD before being sent to BSBCC on 2nd June 2016. A member of the public surrendered Noah, a 5-month-old male to SWD after discovering the bear roaming alone in a fruit orchard in Nabawan. The last rescued bear was Nano, a 2-year-old male bear purchased by a member of the public in Kota Marudu with the intention to rescue him. Nano was quarantined at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Kota Kinabalu before being sent to BSBCC on 20th November 2016.

Sun Bear Reintroduction
On 25th July 2016, BSBCC released Lawa into Tabin Wildlife Reserve, the second sun bear to be rehabilitated at BSBCC for reintroduction backtothewild.Lawawasonlyoneyearoldwhenshefirstarrivedat BSBCC in May 2008. Growing up at BSBCC helped Lawa to develop many of the skills of a wild sun bear and she was found to be smart, agileandindependent.Lawawasfittedwithasatellitecollartoenablefurther monitoring after her release. A helicopter was rented from Sabah Air Aviation Sdn. Bhd. to transport Lawa into the core area of Tabin Wildlife Reserve and her movements were observed via GPS-satellite for 69 days. The last signal was received on 2nd September 2016 after which the satellite collar was believed to have malfunctioned and failed. There has been no further information or signs of Lawa since then. BSBCC sincerely hopes that Lawa can survive well in the forest.
Tabin Sun Bear Project (TSBP)
The TBSP is a long term project initiated in 2016 which will function as a platform to facilitate bear cub rehabilitation and research projects on rehabilitated and wild sun bears in Tabin Wildlife Reserve. SWD kindly allowedafieldhouseinTabintobetemporarilyusedbytheBSBCCteam and some minor renovations were carried out in December 2016. Kem Drum (5° 8’41.02”N 118°29’51.81”E) was selected as a potential base camp for the project. The Occupation Permit needed for the construction of the base camp to start was still in progress at the end of the year. Full Circle Foundation, Hong Kong, provided generous funding towards this project.

Bear Escape
There were three incidents of bear escapes from BSBCC in 2016. On 2nd January, two adult female bears, Cerah and Jelita escaped from Pen K after an enclosure door was left unlocked after maintenance work. Both bears were successfully recaptured back to the bear house building with the help from Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU) vet, Dr. Pakeeyaraj Nagalingam.
On 23rd August, villagers in Abai, Kinabatangan reported a wild adult male sun bear roaming around the village and breaking through the kitchens of their houses. A team comprising of BSBCC and WRU staff captured the bear (named Abai) and transported him to BSBCC the following day, with the purpose of attaching a satellite collar before releasing him back to Lot-5 of the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary. Unfortunately the bear escaped from BSBCC’s quarantine facility by damaging the cage bars on the morning of 25th August. Search and capture operations were carried out including live traps being set and night patrols. As of the end of 2016, no signs of Abai were found.
On the morning of 24th November, a sun bear cub, Tan Tan was found to be on a tree outside Pen D. She was believed to have escaped by climbing a tree in the pen which had fallen on the fence. The 1–year-old female bear was successfully recaptured back on the same day.

Bear Deaths
BSBCC cared for a 13-year-old adult female sun bear, Teddy who was rescued in December 2015 from the Wilmar Sapi Plantation in Beluran, Sabah, after receiving a report that the captive bear was sick. Unfortunately Teddy’s sickness was found to be severe and did not improve even after veterinary treatment. The vets, with supportfromSWD,madethedifficultdecisionto euthanize the bear on 7th January 2016.
Wildlife Welfare Project
In 2016 the Wildlife Welfare Project was organized by APE Malaysia in collaboration with BSBCC and AZA Orangutan SSP at the Melaka Zoo & Night Safari, Peninsular Malaysia. BSBCC staff Azzry, Mizuno and Lin May participated in the 2-week project which started on 6th November. The team managed to complete a new platform at the existing sun bear exhibit and upgraded climbing structures at the orangutan exhibit in the Zoo. Seminars on Orangutan Veterinary Medicine and an Advanced Husbandry Seminar for sun bears and orangutans were also conducted in conjunction with this project.

Infrastructure Development & MaintenanceConstruction of the second Observation Platform and Aerial Walkway was completed on 19th March 2016. The new structure was built as an extension of the existing boardwalk and has enabled the Centre to cater for the increasing number of visitors to BSBCC. After the completion of the aerial walkway, two “tie-on” reinforcement structures and two supporting towers were installed to prevent the walkway and platform from wobbling. These additional support structures were completed in October 2016. The structure was funded by Sime Darby Foundation.
