Finding Sun Bear in Indonesia
Sun Bears still occur in Indonesia, though specific park pins are still being curated. Use the Sun Bear field guide for ID and biology, and the Indonesia expedition page for broader wildlife destinations.
Indonesia context: Seventeen thousand islands, two biogeographic realms, and more endemic species than almost anywhere on Earth.
When you are out looking, prioritise lowland rainforest, hill forest, and secondary forest in Indonesia. That is where local sightings of this species are most often reported.

Biology, interesting facts, identification, and conservation live on the Sun Bear field guide. This page stays focused on finding one in Indonesia.
