International Sun Bear Day 2021 - "Keep Wildlife Wild"

It has been our 5th years celebrating Sun Bear Day here at BSBCC. Thanks to all supports from the fans and supporters, all these celebrations had been a huge success for us! 

A day to remember and raise awareness to the conservation of the world's smallest bear, supporters around the world were invited to 'visit' our Centre virtually, safely from their home. 

The event started few weeks prior to the event day with the start of the Sun Bear Drawing Contest, opened to Malaysian and all other countries worldwide which received lots of entries for each categories.

This year, we have gone international to celebrate with multinational supporters virtually live from our Centre, with our Sun Bear Drawing Contestant also including supporters from the whole world, hence the name International Sun Bear Day 2021!
