Virtual Safari Experience With Bornean Sun Bear

主办方 by Dr. Wong Siew Te - The Papa Bear


Malaysian Chinese, born in 1969 and raised in Penang at northern Peninsular Malaysia. “Wo... ng” as I am known as, is actually my family name, and “Siew Te” is my first name. I love animals all my life. Since I was a first grader, “animal expert” was my ambition on the student record until the very last year in high school. I started my career as a field biologist/research assistant doing wildlife survey, camera trapping, radio collaring and tracking large mammals, taking care of endangered species at Pingtung Wildlife Rescue Center, and all of goofy stuff people seen in Discovery Channel. In 1998, I began to study the ecology of Malayan sun bears in a rainforest of Malaysian Borneo as a project for M.S. thesis, in University of Montana, USA. I continue my doctorate study with the same university, same study area looking at the ecology of bearded pigs, sun bears, and rainforest. In 2008, I founded the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre in Sandakan and be the Chief Executive Officer until today. 显示更多

我们都会干什么

Did you know, bears do climb trees and they do love honey… well, at least our sun bear loves both. Do join us as we explore the daily life of Helarctos Malayanus a.k.a sun bears in Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center (BSBCC).

Bornean sun bears are the smallest among the bear species in the world. Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center (BSBCC) is located at Sepilok, Sandakan City, Sabah state, where 65 rescued ex-captive sun bears are residing now.

We understand that travel is restricted at this moment, so, I will be hosting a live virtual experience with you, your friends or family, and the bears via a video conference platform. Yes, this is going to live and we will get to engage in interesting conversations about the bear and my center.

You will be guided through a journey at the center where you will get to take a closer look at the sun bear's movement, their natural habitat, and also, how they interact with each other. Besides that, I will be sharing some information about our local flora and fauna such as orangutans, macaques, squirrels, and diverse tropical tree species. If we are lucky enough, we may get to see some snakes taking their meal of the day.

This virtual experience is available every weekend at 11am or 2pm (excluding Saturday 2pm), Malaysia time (GMT+8)

We loved the virtual safari! It was fantastic to see the sun bears up close. Dr Wong was full of lots of interesting stories and information about the bears and conservation, and he welcomed questions from everyone. Highly recommended and a lot of fun!

Fantastic hour spent learning about sun bears and even better having the opportunity to see them. So glad for the opportunity and kudos to Dr Wong Siew Te who is the inspiration behind this centre.
