Survival of the Sun Bears is a conservation campaign focused on building a global awareness of sun bears, and what they need to survive. We are working to create story-telling media that shares the story of sun bears in Borneo. Media developed is made available to non-commercial parties for education, advocacy, and fundraising.

Borneo

Located in Southeast Asia, Borneo is the third largest island in the world. The island is shared among three countries: Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia.

It is one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. Indigenous tribal groups have lived amongst the forests of Borneo for thousands of years. Merely a hundred years ago native headhunters ruled remote parts of the island. Indigenous tribal groups still strive to remain intact today. The combination of geographical history and varied terrain of Borneo makes the island a biologically diverse ‘hot-spot’ of evolution.

For over a decade, scientists in Borneo have been discovering at least three new species per month.
