“…Accordingly, changes to trade regulations may need to occur at the genus level (or higher), as was successfully done for the genus Nycticebus . In recognition of the large impact that the wildlife trade has on slow lorises, as well as the ongoing taxonomic changes within this group, the genus Nycticebus was elevated to appendix I under CITES in 2007 (i.e., all trade prohibited) …”

“…In recognition of the large impact that the wildlife trade has on slow lorises, as well as the ongoing taxonomic changes within this group, the genus Nycticebus was elevated to appendix I under CITES in 2007 (i.e., all trade prohibited). 44,45 When legislative changes appear warranted, members of the academic community can be advocates for change. For example, they can regularly check and comment on Federal Register documents (https:// www.federalregister.gov/).…”

“…Waters and El-Harrad [2013] point out the importance that online social networking can play in informing users about primate conservation, but that care needs to be taken in how that message is delivered. An image, meme or video of a threatened species going viral has the chance to bring the species' plight to millions, but at the same time the context of the image may result in public perception that the animal is not threatened or that it makes a suitable pet [Nekaris and Starr, 2015]. Such is the case in point with a group of nocturnal primates from Asia -the slow lorises ( Nycticebus spp.).…”

“…Slow lorises are arboreal, treedwelling primates that naturally inhabit environments such as bamboo forests, mixed deciduous forests and dense shrubland [Nekaris and Bearder, 2011]. They have relatively large home ranges averaging up to 33 ha and display a range of morphological traits adapted to their habitat and locomotor behaviour [Nekaris and Starr, 2015]. With an inability to leap, slow lorises have hands that act as clamps for grasping branches via quadrupedal climbing and bridging [Ankel-Simmons, 2007;Fitch-Snyder et al, 2008].…”

“…Therefore, isolation of Nycticebus populations as a consequence of rising sea levels at the end of the Pleistocene epoch is likely to have culminated in further diversification of extant species. Considering the substantial variation in morphological traits and genetics amongst Nycticebus species, it is not beyond plausibility that new research will elevate further known and isolated slow loris populations to species level Nekaris and Starr, 2015].…”
