婆羅洲馬來熊保育中心是全世界僅有的保育馬來熊中心，成立於2008年，坐落於沙巴州，馬來西亞。而中心成立的宗旨是：

​

• 給予拯救回來的馬來熊適當的照顧與復育互動。
• 提高大眾對馬來熊的馬來熊的認識，傳揚更多的知識。

而以上所做的是為了要捍衛馬來熊的權利，這樣便能夠確保在森林裡活動的馬來熊能夠安全。

我們的任務

婆羅洲馬來熊保育中心透過四個理念：動物福利、保育、復育計劃、教育、研究，為過去被非法捕捉的馬來熊提供一個更好的家園和未來，恢復它們在野外的生存權利：

• 為過去被捕捉或被非法當做寵物的馬來熊提供一系列的復育計劃，讓它們學會獨立、以及各種生存技巧等，以便能夠回復它們的野性，回去森林當一隻野熊。
• 為無法回到野外的馬來熊提供長期良好的生活環境。
• 為大眾提供生態保護教育，傳播更多關於馬來熊的資訊，以及提升民眾對馬來熊的保育意識。
• 促進更多關於馬來熊的研究，收集更多關於馬來熊和其棲息地的知識，以便能夠為它們進行更多的保護。

Within the larger goals outlined above, we want to fulfill the following specific objectives:

• Serve as a half-way house for confiscated/orphaned bears before release back into the wild; provide rehabilitation and training/survival skills for individual release.
• Serve as a permanent home for confiscated/orphaned bears that cannot be put back into the wild.
• Provide a humane, comfortable, and stimulating environment for captive sun bears over both the short- and long-term.
• Provide a much-needed location for the care and housing of newly confiscated/rescued bears.
• Assist the government in enforcement efforts by providing a place for confiscated animals and a program for successful reintroduction.
• Present captive bears as wildlife ambassadors for Borneo and for conservation of wild sun bears and their habitat.
• Provide a memorable visitor experience to promote awareness of sun bears and threats to their survival.
• Promote tourism around Sepilok as well as wild areas in Borneo by raising awareness of a new charismatic flagship species.
• Promote further research on sun bears, including sun bear breeding patterns, social interactions, use of the forest, health and genetic status, behavior, captive breeding, rehabilitation and enrichment.
• Provide capacity building for further research and conservation of sun bears in the wild.
