Urgent: These two bear cubs need our help!
Pampy was only 4 months old and weighed just under 4 kg when she was rescued by the authorities and handed over to the BOS Sanctuary Nyaru Menteng. In September 2019 she came to the BOS Sun Bear Sanctuary Samboja Lestari. Khala was 3 months old when she was handed over to Samboja Lestari in November 2019.

Threatened with extinction
The smallest bear species on the planet desperately needs our help because sun bears are threatened of extinction in the wild. This threat stems from the illegal trade in wild animals, commercial hunting and the destruction of their habitat. Sun bear mothers are killed, and their young cubs are kept as domestic animals, as pets. Once the cute cubs are all grown up, the bears are either sent away or they end up in cage too small for their needs. If we do not act now there is a big possibility that sun bears will no longer roam around the rainforests of Borneo. Together with your help we can protect the sun bears from these dangers!
