BALI: THE SPIRIT OF AN ELDERLY SUN BEAR AT SAMBOJA LESTARI
Among the elderly residents of the sanctuary, Bali is one of the most remarkable. Today, Bali has reached the age of around 45 years, which is considered very old for a sun bear.
On August 22, a fire broke out in Batampang village in Central Kalimantan, affecting the Mawas Conservation Program area. Around five hectares was scorched in the remote location, which is difficult to reach. Poor access and a shallow river made it especially challenging for our Mawas team and the Bagawi Hayak firefighting team, who worked tirelessly together to extinguish the fire.
