The final step in the reintegration of Slow Loris back into the wild is the removal of the radio collars that kept track of them. Read more after the credits. ・・・ This is a #repost from @international_animal_rescue via @PhotoAroundApp March 21st was a very #special day for two of our released slow lorises, Lilo and Jomblo. After six months of extensive post release monitoring, our team were happy enough with their progress to remove the radio-collars fitted around their necks. Radio collars are worn by every slow loris we release back into the wild as it allows us to gather information on how well they are adapting to life in their natural environment. The information gathered on Jomblo and Lilo suggested that they had adapted well, demonstrating behaviour that would be typical of a wild slow loris. They have a stable home range area, and are foraging well. The search for Lilo and Jomblo lead us on a mission that lasted throughout the #night. We used radio equipment to help us comb through the thick forest and eventually pinpoint their location. In the video below you can watch our team remove the collars, a delicate procedure that marks an end to the extensive care and rehabilitation YOU have helped us to provide. Lilo and Jomblo were once #victims of the slow loris #pet trade, and now they are thriving in the forest, where they belong. This is not only a victory for the slow lorises, but also for our slow loris release programme. Thank you to everyone that has donated to our slow loris project. You have helped us give Jomblo and Lilo the life they deserve. #ticklingistorture #slowloris #rainforest #animalrescue #SlowLorisConservation
