Globally, the population of the Malayan Sun Bear is suspected to have dwindled by 30% since the 1980s.

The Malayan Sun Bear has lost much of its habitat due to forest conversion for urban development, monoculture plantations (rubber and oil palm), and other development. One recent study has shown that Malaysia has the highest deforestation rate in the world, and this does not bode well for the Malayan Sun Bear with the continuous destruction of its habitat.
