25 species of Vietnam’s primates are ‘on the edge of extinction’

11 species listed as Critically Endangered

1.

Poaching

Primate poaching is widespread and common in Vietnam. Poachers covet the monkeys for their bones, organs and tissues, which are used in traditional medicines. The essential reason for the immense volume of wildlife in the illegal trade and the dramatic decline of wild animal populations – not only primates – results from an ineffective, unmotivated and apathetic enforcement of existing laws.

2.

Habitat Destruction & Fragmentation

Deforestation of natural forests in Vietnam is proceeding at an alarming rate, and even though forested areas in general increase through reforestation it is predominantly as monoculture plantations. A large number of protected areas are very small or fragmented, and are therefore highly vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts.

TWO more Lorises were rescued
3 days ago, Police of Tam Diep city (Ninh Binh province) have rescued 2 Pygmy lorises. After identifying that those confiscated animals are two Lorises which are in bad condition, the policeman directly brought them to our Centre.
From the beginning of 2022 until now, we have received 5 Lorises. 3 of them were rescued in very poor health and showed severe malnutrition, which will take a long time for them to recover.
We are also taking the first steps in building semi-wild areas for them. These will be the ideal places for these poor Loris to regain their natural instincts before getting back into the wild.

Happy 1st birthday to our baby langur Nemo

Nemo is a White shorts Langur (Trachypithecus delacouri) who currently living with his troop in our semi-wild area.
With such proficient climbing skills, you probably wouldn't have guessed that Nemo is only 1 year old :))

Currently, there are less than 300 individuals of Nemo's fellow left in the world. Let's make a comparison: with 7 billion people living in the world, Nemo is representing for 21 million people. This number is even equivalent to a country's population.

* With all our efforts, we will do our best to save those endangered primates*

Last week, we received 2 rescued Pygmy Lorises from Lang Son and Hai Phong provinces. Unfortunately, one of them did not survive.
Former owner starved him for days. Until being rescued by the police, he was already in very poor health condition. 12 hours after returning to EPRC, poor Loris passed away.

The other Loris was rescued from Lang Son province, she was lucky to be rescued earlier. Now she is in quite good health. We will monitor further and may soon plan for release her into the National Park.

>> Please help us to build semi-wild areas to prepare for the Loris re-wilding.

Tuần vừa qua, chúng tôi đã thực hiện 2 chuyến cứu hộ đến Lạng Sơn và Hải Phòng để tiếp nhận 2 cá thể Culi Nhỏ. Thật không may, một con Culi tội nghiệp đã qua đời.
Cá thể này đã bị chủ cũ đã bỏ đói trong nhiều ngày dẫn đến tình trạng sức khoẻ vô cùng tồi tệ. Tuy dù đã được công an tìm thấy và giải cứu, nhưng chỉ 12 tiếng đồng hồ sau khi về đến EPRC, Culi đáng thương đã qua đời.

Cá thể còn lại may mắn hơn khi được phát hiện sớm. Nhờ đó, cá thể này có sức khoẻ khá tốt. Chúng tôi sẽ theo dõi thêm và có thể sớm lên kế hoạch cho đợt tái thả vào rừng quốc gia trong thời gian tới.

>> Hãy gây quỹ cùng chúng tôi xây dựng khu bán hoang dã để chuẩn bị cho việc thả Culi.

27/ 04/ 2022 – The Male Red-shanked douc Langur wa

27/ 04/ 2022 - The Male Red-shanked douc Langur was handed over after long time of being kept illegally. Langur & rice?
After receiving news from Vu Quang National Park ranger our staff departed at 3 am. The rescued animal is a Red-shanked Douc langur. He was kept by local man for a long time. Until the man learned that this was illegal, he finally handed over to the Vu Quang National Park.
According to his narration, most of the time he fed the Douc langur with rice, rice crackers and some lettuce.
After receiving the Douc langur from Vu Quang Rangers, 6 hours on the road, then we are finally brought him back to EPRC safely. Initially observed, he is very skinny and showed signs of malnutrition for a long time.
We are currently monitoring and taking extra care. The first step is to giving him a suitable diet to gradually restore his health.
We will do our best to help him soon recover.
