Meet the slow loris, the only existing venomous primate. This adorable creature, whose big eyes and timid demeanor have garnered it internet fame and media attention, is now threatened with extinction as they become increasingly popular as pets. Wildlife Alliance rescues these small mammals from markets and poachers where they are sold as pets or for traditional medicine.

Meet Pey
Pey was rescued from a market on the outskirts of Phnom Penh by a well-meaning Cambodian who purchased her in an attempt to save her from a trader. She was found terrified, stressed, and in desperate need of medical attention.
The pressures from the pet trade and habitat destruction have caused wild population declines across the whole of its native range. They are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with insufficient data available to estimate the population.
Although Pey will never be able to return to the forest, you can help keep her happy and comfortable, and ensure the best possible future for her by being a sponsor!
