 1. IUCN Redlist page on the Gray Slender Loris: www.iucnredlist.org/details/44722/0
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. If threats arising from habitat loss and hunting increase, this species will need to be reassessed, and could qualify for listing as Near Threatened.


2. IUCN Redlist page on the Red Slender Loris: www.iucnredlist.org/details/12375/0
Listed as Endangered because its population size is estimated to number fewer than 2,500 mature individuals, there is an observed continuing decline in the number of mature individuals, and no subpopulation contains more than 250 mature individuals.

(Prof. Nekaris' Little Fireface Project almost entirely focuses on Slow Lorises)

The Little Fireface Project, named after the Sundanese word for loris, is the world’s longest running loris conservation project, started in 1993, under the auspices of the Nocturnal Primate Research Group of Oxford Brookes University. Their research was highlighted in the award winning 2012 film Jungle Gremlins of Java. They aim to save lorises from extinction through learning more about their ecology and using this information to educate local people and law enforcement officers, leading  to empathy and empowerment whereby people in countries where lorises exist will want to save them for themselves. This is done through education, media, workshops and  classroom programmes. Their education does not stop in range countries, but also reaches out to potential western purchasers of loris pets.
