The Sukau Rainforest Lodge family would like to congratulate and welcome Dr. Arthur Chung as our latest Conservation Fellow! Born in Sandakan Sabah, Dr. Arthur Chung is a Senior Researcher at the Forest Research Centre, Sepilok of the Sabah Forestry Department, and we are honoured to have him as a guest at our lodge just recently. This special recognition is given to him for his significant contribution in entomology and forest conservation here in Sabah, which is definitely an inspiration to us all. Our Managing Director Albert Teo recently paid him a visit at his office to present to him a plaque of Appointment as Sukau Rainforest Lodge's Conservation Fellow.

The ever bright Dr. Arthur Chung, together with his lovely wife took some time out of their busy schedules to stay at Sukau Rainforest Lodge on the 29th of July 2017. To honour Dr. Arthur as our Conservation Fellow, we have tributed one of our new Villas to him and both him and his wife officiated the room during a ribbon cutting ceremony. Besides that, Dr. Arthur was more than happy to do a talk on entomology during his stay to other guests and the lodge team titled "Insect Diversity of the Bornean Rainforests". The talk was super insightful and intriguing not only for those who are interested in entomology, but also those who are very new to it.

A big thank you to Dr. Arthur Chung and wife for allowing us to host your stay with us and congratulations for making it onto our Conservation Fellow Wall of Honour!

The latest addition to our Conservation Fellows Wall of Honour is founder of Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC), Dr. Wong Siew Te. We are honoured to give him the recognition for his great conservation efforts especially for the work he has been carrying out at BSBCC where they rescue captive and orphaned sun bears, and rehabilitate them before they are released back into the wild.

Dr. Wong Siew Te took time out to visit our lodge together with his wife and daughter where he officiated one of our new Villas that is tributed to him. There was a welcoming dance performance by our team as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony to officiate the villa.

Dr. Wong Siew Te was kind enough to give a talk at the lodge about sun bears and what's being done at BSBCC to guests who were staying there that time. The talk was super interesting and informative too!

Again, we would like to thank Dr. Wong Siew Te for letting us host him and his beautiful family here in Sukau Rainforest Lodge, and congratulate him for making it onto our Conservation Fellow Wall of Honour! His work is definitely an inspiration to all of us.
