The Malayan sun bear is the smallest bear in the world and is active only at night. It spends its days sleeping in tree nests and basking in the sun.
First Peoples/Non Timber Forest Products
The First Peoples know a lot about our forests, because they have been living in them and using them for all kinds of things for a long time. Global Forest scientists are working with numerous First Peoples nations to record and study their indigenous plant knowledge and uses. A forest is full of many things other than trees that people can use, such as mushrooms, decorative plants and food plants. Non timber forest products - things other than trees - are being studied so that we can still make money and get good things from the forests without cutting them all down.
