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.

Baby gibbon was rescued from Dien Bien border prov

Baby gibbon was rescued from Dien Bien border province

After receiving the short video sent by a ranger, our EPRC staff quickly go to help the animal.
The animal was trapped in the forest and found by a local H'mong name A Chang. According to him: when he was going to his upland field, he found the weak animal was trapped. He took it home to take care and then called the local ranger.

It took hours to arrive the place where A Chang is living. The area is very sparsely populated, each family is a few kilometers apart, and some even has to walk several hours to get there. According to the local rangers, this area still appears the illegal hunting. Rangers have solved some cases of Sun bears, macaques, wild pig...hunted.

Why did you choose to save it but not sell or eat it? (we asked A Chang)
He honestly replied: I met it like a charm, I did not know exactly what kind of animal it is. But when I looking at it, I see it like a pitiful child, who eats it?

Finally, the gibbon was safely arrived to the EPRC. She is a young female Northern White Cheeked Gibbon, a Critically Endangered species.
Thanks for A Chang and the Dien Bien rangers for putting in a lot of effort to make the rescue successful.

Unsung heroes are all around us!

The same rescued loris after one month of good care at EPRC.

This Bengal Slow Loris was rescued from Lang Son last month.
Due to stress and malnutrition, he lost all of his hair on the head.
After one month, now he is regaining his strength and his handsome too 😀

Meet our new volunteers: Malin and Felix 🥳 They

Meet our new volunteers: Malin and Felix 🥳
They are supporting a health check session for Loris.

Malin and Felix came from Germany, both signed up for a one-year volunteering program, which organized by Kolping Volunteer Program cooperate with EPRC. They will live in Cuc Phuong National Park and work full-time with us to support jobs related to the care of rescued primates.

In the picture: Malin and Felix are helping our keepers to do Loris periodically weight checking. The Loris, athough called: Slow Lorises, but are known for being Venomous Primates that can deliver painful bites. So it is necessary to equip a pair of thick gloves, and also especially to be careful not to injure the animal.

A funny and interesting thing is that our Loris Enclosure at EPRC are quite high, most of which are difficult for Vietnamese Keepers to reach every time the Loris cling on the top. Thanks to Felix and Malin, this job will become a lot easier from now on.

Chào đón những tình nguyện viên mới của chúng tôi: Felix và Malin.
Hai bạn ấy đang hỗ trợ một buổi Cân kiểm tra sức khoẻ cho Culi.

Malin và Felix đến từ Đức, cả 2 đã đăng ký vào chương trình tình nguyện một năm, được phối hợp tổ chức bởi Kolping International và EPRC. Các bạn ấy sẽ sống tại Vườn Quốc Gia Cúc Phương và làm việc toàn thời gian để hỗ trợ các công việc liên quan tới chăm sóc linh trưởng cứu hộ tại đây.

Trong hình: hai bạn đang giúp các Nhân Viên Chăm Sóc Động vật tại EPRC cân kiểm tra sức khoẻ định kỳ cho Culi. Những chú culi tuy chậm chạp nhưng lại nổi tiếng là loài linh trưởng có độc và có thể tạo ra những nhát cắn đau điếng người. Cho nên việc trang bị một đôi găng tay thật dày và là cần thiết, và đặc biệt là phải cẩn thận để không làm Culi bị thương.

Một điều khá hài hước và thú vị: các chuồng culi tại EPRC khá cao, hầu hết rất khó khăn cho các Keeper người Việt của chúng tôi để với đến mỗi khi Culi bám ở nóc chuồng. Nhờ có Felix và Malin mà kể từ nay công việc này sẽ trở nên dễ dàng hơn rất nhiều.

6 hours ago

We are being affected by one of the biggest hurricanes in the last 20 years in Vietnam. It has been continuously rained for 3 days and causing the water in the forest to rise rapidly.Yesterday afternoon, we moved 2 lorises out of the danger zone. Our staff had to wade through a stream where the water level was deep.Fortunately, we made it successfully, all animals and staff are safe now. We wish everybody and animals in the areas where the storm was passing to be safe. Hope the heavy rain will stop soon——–#eprc #loris #culi #animal #rescue #hurricane #cucphuong #coolie … See MoreSee Less
