Little Fireface Project
Mission statement
The Little Fireface Project mission is to obtain vital data about all loris species to contribute to their conservation in the wild and in captivity, including aiding rescue centres in reintroductions and aiding in the welfare of slow loris pets in countries where it is still legal to keep them. We intensively use, monitor and evaluate social media to inform the public world-wide about the plight of slow lorises to mitigate their trade.
The project’s scope of research is widespread, encompassing behavioural ecology, museum studies, genetics, acoustics, taxonomy, conservation education and chemical ecology. The Little Fireface Project team also conducts outreach and education programmes for local communities to get them to join the conservation movement.
