Each year, slow lorises are rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, many now spending their lives in cages at government centers. By supporting the re-wilding of slow lorises, you are directly funding their transition from a cage to a second chance at life in the wild. Your donation offers these animals a path to a better life with the care and freedom they deserve, ensuring their future well-being.
The illegal wildlife trade sends countless slow lorises to government confiscation centers, where they are destined to spend their lives in cages. Due to continuous confiscations and no dedicated release program, these underfunded centers have become overcrowded. This situation poses new challenges for the lorises and the center. Faced with broken-down enclosures and limited resources, many lorises now live in small cages, leading to increased stress and decreased welfare for the animals.
An established well-rounded release program increases animal welfare and alleviates overcrowding. Slow lorises will be trained for release to their natural habitat, giving them a second chance at being wild and free. For those who can't be released, funding improves their enclosures, provides public outreach through programs and signage, and ensures proper welfare standards are kept. It also decreases the burden on the underfunded centers and lowers demand for lorises in the illegal pet trade.
By returning rehabilitated lorises to the wild, this project contributes to species conservation. It also provides valuable knowledge on loris conservation and ecology in Thailand. The project's demand-reduction outreach campaigns help keep lorises out of the trade. By reducing the financial burden on government centers, it sets a new standard for rehabilitation, promoting humane animal care and giving slow lorises a chance to thrive in their natural ecosystem.
