    Sun bears are bears of the genus Helarctos, there are three extant species of sun bear: the Indochinese Sun Bear (Helarctos indochinensis), the Sumatran Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus), and the Bornean Sun Bear (Helarctos euryspilus), they are the sole extant genus of the subtribe Helarctina, which is part of the tribe Ursini of the broader subfamily Ursinae (Long-Snouted Bears), the bornean sun bear is known for being the smallest living bear species.

    The sun bear is a great way to view the age of the Bornean rainforest. It’s so old that a bear - one of the largest mammals and largest predatory mammal on the planet - could find the time to adapt to the environment, grow to the full size of most other bear species’ cubs - and still be an apex predator. The jungles of this island are extraordinary. If we judge the rainforest by being the most complex ecosystem in the planet, then Borneo has to sit head and shoulders above the rest. Time has created an environment where niches are more specific and dependent on the niches of others than anywhere else on our special little world. We really must protect a place like this with all the night we can muster. Places like this harbor the bulk of our biodiversity and must be at the top of the list for conservation.
