The Sun Bear (Helarctos Malayanus), sometimes known as the Honey Bear, is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.
Adult Sun Bears have almost no predators except human!
Their home is fast diminishing due to forest degradation, illegal hunting, poaching for food & medicines and pet trade.
This video shows the Malayan Sun Bear being rescued and cared for by the Bornean Sun Bear & Wildlife Conservation (BSBCC) in Malaysia.
BSBCC is a joint project between Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD), Sabah Forestry Department (SFD) and LEAP, and spear-headed by Malayan Sun Bear researcher and conservationist Wong Siew Te.

This is a great video also. So interesting and informative. I had never heard of this little bear before. Your videos all all so good it is difficult to have a favorite. And they are so varied in subject matter. You guys must stay very busy. I also love the song you have featured in this video. One of my favorites.

@olga2415 Thanks so much for your compliments and comment. Sorry for the late reply. At times, comments didn't arrive in our Channel's inbox due to bug problems. We are glad that you enjoyed this video and found the little interesting. They are very cute and cuddly. We hope that more people would help and support to protect the bears from extinction.
Warm regards,

This is another good example of showing people that anyone can help sun bear by doing what they do best. You do not have to be a biologist to help species from extinction. Any can help by help spread the words. By making this video posted on youtube, Jasmine in Malta help us raise the conservation awareness and the plights of sun bear across the world! Thank you Jasmine. I hope other can do the same too!!
Thanks!
