Educational Activities - Group Visits (November 2017)

SK Sungai Nangka Preschool

A school visit from SK Sungai Nangka Preschool, Beluran visited BSBCC on November 18th, 2017. The school children came together with their teachers and parents. They were given a short introduction on sun bears with our sun bear mascot and later they were brought to the observation platforms to see the bears roaming in the forest enclosure. The children, together with their parents and teachers, enjoyed their time at our Centre learning about sun bears and the environment. We were glad to share our knowledge on Sun Bears with them. We believe that environmental education can help in the efforts to save Sun Bears and their habitat for generations to come.

Tadika Ming Chung

A group of kindergarten children from nearby Tadika Ming Chung visited BSBCC on November 4th, 2017. The visit was guided by BSBCC staff to view sun bears in the forest enclosure. The kids were lucky enough to be able to spot a Crested serpent eagle and an Orangutan, as well as sun bears. On November 10th, 2017, the BSBCC team once again were glad to host another visit from SALY-B participants of Kg.
