In 2009 a supporter of BSBCC went to visit the Victory Mini Zoo Farm in Papart, Kudat in the Northern Region of Borneo, and he was shocked that the Zoo was advertising that they had a Panda Bear but instead it was 2 Malayan Sun Bears, which are Totally Protected under Sabah’s Wildlife Conservation Enactment.

Kudat (Male) and his best female pal, Panda, were originally from Tawau district, south-eastern Sabah, before being sent to the Kudat district. They were previously housed in less-than-satisfactory conditions until they were handed over to the Sabah Wildlife Department & BSBCC. It is hard to believe that both Kudat and Panda were displayed as pandas in a mini zoo. These “pandas” were fed daily with one chicken each. This explains why they have a rather large body size compared to other bears their age.

Rungus (Female) arrived at the BSBCC on the 12th of November 2010. She was surrendered by the Victory Mini Zoo Farm in Kudat, North of Sabah. She was brought to our attention following the efforts of Australian Mrs.Reanne Potter and her husband.

The only sun bear conservation centre in the world. It was founded in Sabah, Malaysia in 2008 with two aims:
to provide care and rehabilitation to rescued sun bears; and
to increase awareness of sun bears internationally.

These aims work to ensure the absolute right of every bear to live in the forest.

Dragonflies of Borneo

"With 275 named species so far recorded in Borneo, the island has one of the richest and most exciting dragonfly faunas in the world. More than 40% of species occur nowhere else, making it the most distinctive sub-region of Sundaland." A Guide to the Dragonflies of Borneo by Albert G. Orr

Insects are diverse and dominant inhabitants of the tropical rainforests in Borneo Island. New species are discovered too often. Entomologists are still struggling to cope with the documentation of tropical insect diversity.

Most of the common dragonflies in Sabah are red coloured, especially from the family Libellulidae. Some red pecies are even confused as same species, for example the three species of Genus Neurothemis.
