KOTA KINABALU: Gentle, adorable, docile, vulnerable and threatened – this is the thrust of the message about sun bears and their conservation that 10 local artists aimed to convey through their works at a recent exhibition.

Held at the Lai Lai Art Studio in Ampang, Selangor from May 19 to June 11, the “Happy Forest, Happy Wildlife” exhibition featured 28 pieces expressing the importance of the world's smallest bear species.
