Bangka Slow Loris Rediscovered in Indonesia After Nearly 90 Years
The Bangka slow loris, a rare venomous primate thought extinct since the 1930s, has been rediscovered on Indonesia's Bangka Island. Over 90 individuals were documented between 2015 and 2025, many rescued from injuries caused by power lines and other hazards. The species faces threats from habitat loss due to mining and plantations, as well as the illegal pet trade. Conservation efforts include rescue and release programs, but further field studies are needed to assess its population and ensure its survival.
