Saving the Slow Loris, One Step at a Time

What is the Slow Loris Project?

The Slow Loris Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of slow lorises. Our mission is to raise awareness, support rescue efforts, and advocate for the ethical treatment of these endangered primates.

Slow lorises face threats such as habitat destruction, illegal wildlife trade, and exploitation for the pet trade. These factors have led to significant population declines in the wild.

You can support our mission by donating, spreading awareness, avoiding the purchase of exotic pets, and supporting ethical eco-tourism. Volunteering with conservation groups and advocating for stronger wildlife protection laws also make a big impact.

If you witness or suspect illegal slow loris trafficking, report it to local wildlife authorities or conservation organizations. You can also reach out to us for guidance on how to take action.
