Despite being included in CITES Appendix I protection and covered by local conservation laws, slow lorises are still threatened by both local and international trade because of problems with enforcement.
In response, many organisations have coordinated rehabilitation efforts to try and reintroduce these captive primates back into their natural habitat, with varying degrees of success. The International Animal Rescue is one such organisation. Working closely with universities and scientists, they are carrying out research into successful rehabilitation and reintroduction programmes for slow lorises. For instance, a number of confiscated lorises with their teeth intact have been released back into the wild wearing radio collars and are being closely monitored by the team to assess the effectiveness of the programme.
Many countries have taken up rehabilitation efforts in saving the slow loris, including, but not restricted to, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam in Asia alone (you can get a more comprehensive list of rescue centers around the world here). However, identification is critical because authorities still manage all slow lorises as if they were from one species, resulting in species being released into the wrong locations and increasing confusion in taxonomy and conservation.
To remediate this, workshops were conducted to increase understanding. In 2008, training workshops for enforcement officials and rescue center personnel were held in Singapore to help teach slow loris identification, conservation status, and husbandry. Surveys prior to the training showed 87% of the trainees could not identify slow loris species, but the one-day workshops had a significant impact.
