Today is Wildlife Conservation Day, which raises awareness of the harmful effects of poaching and trafficking of wildlife. The slow loris is a nocturnal primate threatened with extinction in part because of a lucrative and illegal wildlife trade that feeds an international demand for lorises as pets. Conservation biologist Mary Blair of the Museum’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation has been surveying slow lorises in Vietnam since 2013 and is collaborating with Vietnamese researchers to understand why these animals are trafficked. She’s also using the Museum’s historic collections to help with conservation efforts. Find out how in this video: http://bit.ly/2BQxB9L
