...... | Help is needed for wild animals
who are victims of illegal trade, for instance in
Indonesia
A profit margin of billions of US$ per year from the
worldwide trade with wild animals, pets and parts of
animals fuels a brutal business leading to accelerated
vanishing of rare and threatened species. In 2004 alone, a
total number 4200 wild animals have been rescued or
confiscated in Indonesia and brought to rescue stations.
Animals concerned were for instance orangutans, gibbons,
lorises and other primates, but also deer and birds like
kites or eagles and other threatened animals. See
some consequences of illegal wildlife trade and other
threat in
our website and a report about business in the
Indonesian animal markets by International
Animal Rescue See

poaching and trade for human entertainment at http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-01-25/how-youtube-fame-is-killing-the-cute-slow-loris

You can donate via the donations page established by Oxford Brookes University. |
See websites about the work of former ProFauna Indonesia /
ProAnimalia, now run as a project of IAR
(International Animal Rescue), for information about

rescue in Indonesia, launching
of a new project in Indonesia in 2006 and supporting a rescue
facility for lorises and other primate species, the Ciapus
primate centre (see also http://www.loris-conservation.org/database/rescue_centers.html#Indonesia).
Confiscations are the basic means to diminish the brutal illegal
pet trade, and the confiscated animals need help, adequate food
and treatment.
is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, breeding, research and conservation of the endangered primates of Vietnam. The center has no steady income. In addition to costs for animal rescue, care and other tasks, typhoons in the past caused considerable damage; high costs for repair were necessary. Donations help. See the EPRC web page for contact: http://www.primatecenter.org/help.htm
This website is supposed to provide information for free for
conservation, rescue facilities, research and education. Photos
and new information which can be used for these aims are generally
appreciated. For an identification
key for lorises and pottos, which may help to reintroduce
confiscated animals to their proper habitats, for instance photos
of lorises and pottos with information about exact geographic
origin would be valuable. Information please to the compiler of these pages. Contributions are
of course used with the author´s / photographer´s name quoted,
meaning a kind of coauthorship.
