The Slow Loris Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of slow lorises. These unique and endangered primates face critical threats due to habitat destruction and illegal wildlife trade. Our mission is to raise awareness, support rescue efforts, and advocate for ethical conservation practices to ensure their survival.
We work with conservation partners to rescue slow lorises from illegal trafficking and rehabilitate them for release into protected habitats.
We provide educational resources and outreach programs to inform the public about the importance of slow loris conservation.
We support initiatives and policies that strengthen wildlife protection laws and promote ethical eco-tourism.
If you find a video or photo of a slow loris as a pet on the Internet, please note that although it looks cute, the animal in the video is suffering, as is the entire species.
Videos made popular on sites like Youtube.com have created a huge wave of people wanting to own a pet Slow Loris. Little do they know about the exotic animal black market and the danger of having a Slow Loris at home.
Slow loris (Subfamily Lorisinae), any of about 10 tailless or short-tailed primates found in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. Lorises are arboreal and nocturnal. They snuggle and sleep during the day.
