Javanese Kukang

Javanese Kukang (Lorises) are protected

Nearly four years of our journey berkukang fun, heartfelt messages desperately proclaiming that there is in the title of this post: NOT ALLOWED BUY & MAINTENANCE slow loris. In everyday life, in family & friendship, in the working environment & the media .. for what? why we should not + PRESERVE & NOT BUY slow loris?

This is the basic reason & main:
All living creatures deserve to live freely in nature:
1. Has an important role in nature
2. Being rich biodiversity of fauna Indonesia
3. The number of lemurs that live in the wild less
4. Threatened with extinction due to three main issues wildlife Indonesia: shrinking habitat, for the pet trade / maintained as well as weak law enforcement, & ecological data are minimal.
5. Unique, unique wildlife unfortunately that until extinction
6. Zoonoses
7. Prohibited by law.


Reason 1 is a very basic reason. Who wants to live confined? Who wants to live with all the amenities of eating-drinking-clothing-the-board health but is restricted to go anywhere? restricted to meet with others?
Free survival is the basic requirement. It seemed natural for us humans as beings who have a mind-full of power & awareness but do not want such treatment? And it feels weird & selfish, if the man whose position is more power is actually 'forgot' that all living beings are capable of moving (animals, animals) also have the same needs.

Reason 2 is a common reason, because up to this writing there is no sufficient scientific data to indicate a special role in the wild. But it was enough to make our basic considerations: lemurs play an important role in greening their habitats.
Lorises are living wild in nature takes its natural food form of sap, nectar, fruits, forest, insects, small reptiles. We take the example of feed: nectar & fruit. When lemurs feed on nectar plant a flower, pollinate flowers she helped plant A. When lemurs eat fruit from plants B, he chews take the meat and discard (melepehkan) skin & seeds. Slow loris help spread the seeds of plants B. Is this reason-fetched to be considered less Ngada prove that lemurs play a role in greening HABITAT?

What is the effect of habitat (forest or Talun) are green?
Plants are producing oxygen: O2 manufacturers, natural air conditioning surrounding area, the lungs of the world, & Throttling the effects of global warming. Plants also store a backup of water in the body & its roots: a source of natural spring water, slowing erosion & landslides, preventing FLOOD. Gives the impression of lush greenery & relaxing effect. This can be a means of recreation for the surrounding community (jalan2 Looking for a picnic & ngabotram/jalan2 to eat together in one place) or be a tourist destination the city (why do people like to go to the top of the city, to the beautiful sights, answered his own).

Two things are immediately felt the existence of lush green vegetation is fresh air & water availability.
Plants can be green & breed with the help of animals, one of them is sloth. Plants, lemurs, & other animals into a unified whole. If there is one missing component in it, then there goes her role in nature. The neighborhood will become unstable & finally broken. Talk about the destruction of nature & the disaster that occurred during 1-2 years of this course we are full. Please preserve the forests, preserve Talun, preserve lorises with no buy & maintain it!
Reason 3 is the reason biology & prestige of this nation.
Slow Loris (Nycticebus is the genus name) in the world spread across Asia. Based on recent taxonomic experts kesepekatan (2003), a total of five species: N. bengalensis, N. pygmaeus, N. coucang, N. menagensis, & N. javanicus.

We have 3 types of lemurs that live on Earth Indonesia: Nc, Nm, & U Nj. Nc or ​​slow loris in Malaya Sumatra & surrounding areas, Nm on the island of Borneo, & Nj in Java. It is apparent that the Nc & Nm also exist in other countries, while Nj endemic (only found living naturally in) the island of Java. Imagine, in nature Indonesia there are 3 types of lemurs, one of them endemic (Nj). That means more than half the biological wealth of the world's lemurs (3 of 5 types) exist in Indonesia, & the type (Nj) exist only in Indonesia. What happens if we run out in the wild lemurs because we insist on maintaining her out of pity?
Reason 4 is the ecological reasons.
Slow Loris are mammals (mammals) which gave birth to give birth once every year with 43.5 to 75 g weight, and breastfeeding for 5-7 months or weaned at the age of children 85-180 days (literature please contact us). If sloth is taken from nature, then it is likely to breed he is gone. Slow loris left in the wild may not be able to marry because there is no spouse. The number of additions is not as fast as the hunting of wild lemurs (purchase + maintenance) that occurred. While broad habitat is dwindling due to be opened for settlement or encroachment into agricultural land. Can we bear to preclude the possibility of dating lemurs became disconnected because keukeuh buy-out of pity because it already maintains affection?

Reason 5 is a classic reason for animals facing Indonesia.
(1) Damage to habitat occurs in all parts of Indonesia. Area of ​​habitat driven by the need for human land (house & land of food). (2) protected wildlife trade happen easily & openly everywhere. Society does not care or have no spirit left to prevent & eliminate this unlawful act. (3) Research aka ecology field research has begun to little demand. Slow lorises are nocturnal animals (active at night & sleep in the daytime). Many people think of lemurs in the field of research can only be done at night. The researchers & the prospective researchers will be reluctant because of perceived high cost & hassle. Oh no, friends. We desperately need current data on lemurs in the wild. Lemur studies (ecological data capture this nocturnal animals) can be done during the day. Please contact us to discuss this, we will try to be a facilitator to assist research about friends in the wild .

Reason 6 is the uniqueness sloth is not replaceable / found in other wildlife.
Lorises have eyes that can light up orange in the dark, beautiful. Lorises have a flexible body, can be stretched, twisted, hanging, & hanging upside down. Slow lorises sleep in a way his body like a ball rolling. Slow loris has a poisonous bite, rather longer lemurs have the enzymes to be included in the saliva and bites. Bite of the most dangerous animals known to us is the Komodo dragon bites. More unique lemur bite (haha) because although it does not contain bacteria but harmless. If we are bitten by a lemur when our bodies healthy condition are fever, generally 1-3 days. Imagine if we're not fit. Based on the stories that we never knew was to be swollen all over his body.

Reason 7 is a zoonosis.
Zoonoses are diseases transmitted between animals and man. The higher the chance of disease transmission because of the slow loris is wild primate group: Similar to our body's metabolism of humans. Diseases can be transmitted (& place / visible immediately) is the flu, Diara, skin diseases (eczema, hair loss), respiratory illness (cough, tuberculosis, pneumonia) & others. Severe disease that may occur other is the transmission of HIV, ebola, diseases caused by other viruses, & the possibility of fetal disorders. Severe diseases usually do not occur at this time, does not happen instantly. We will never know, that tuberculosis or fetal disorders may occur because we never keep lemurs. Animals that appear healthy can be a wildlife disease vector or carriers, even though these animals look healthy. Think more in the future & consider my friends if you want mememelihara lemurs.

Reason 8 is a legitimate reason.
With a myriad of reasons stated above, government & institutions of the world drawn from the lemur habitat ban. Lorises have been protected since 1931 until now (th Wild Animal Protection Law. 1931, Law no. 5 th. 1990, Minister of Agriculture SK th. 1973, PP. 7 th. 1999). Since 2007 CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna Floraand, associations of the countries that oversee world trade in flora & fauna) incorporate all kinds of lemurs into the list of Appendix I, which means slow loris may not be used for any commercial purposes. In 2008 the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, the agency that oversees the preservation of natural & biological resources) determine the status of lemurs to be vulnerable, to endangered (status & Nc Nj Nm vulnerable & endangered species). Legal rules have obvious consequences. If PP & Indonesian government violated the law, sanctions are dealing with the authorities: max prison. 5 years or a fine of max. 100 million. If the international rules are violated, then our economy will be affected because the countries of the world at this moment is very reactive to a violation of nature preservation & destruction.

NEED MORE REASONS ...
If my friends felt sorry for her, be confirmed careful not to buy. according to the laws of economics: there is a demand then there will be a product. If the sale sloth persist, then the hunt will occur more often.
The process of the hunt until he came to the hands of friends as a buyer who is very-very painful compassion for sloth.
Lorises are hunted certainly experience stress due to arrested & taken from the place of his life, was in a narrow container to take to the dealer / seller lemurs. Traders will cut canine teeth & nail slow lorises in order not to injure the prospective buyer / caretaker. Cutting process is very painful canine lemurs, can use nail clippers or removed with pliers. Bleeding from wounds & infections cause slow loris weak & unhealthy. Since there are no fangs lemurs can not chew very well (people who ask what it feels like a toothache).

Sustainer slow loris is also having problems in maintenance due to different feed with natural food.
My friends thought he was quite satisfied & organ belly-ok ok just eat a banana-papaya-milk? In the wild do not eat it. According to the story of friends at the Rehabilitation Center Foundation, IAR Indonesia loris, lemurs, lorises are submitted by the custodians generally have health problems: constipation, stomach upset, diarrhea, hair loss, dental problems, tuberculosis, etc.. If we maintain the sloth because unfortunately it seems to be sounding selfish when we already know the facts of this peliharaaan health of lemurs.

Slow loris need a place to live & friend each other.
Lorises are kept usually treated like caring for cats. The slow loris is wildlife night. At the maintainer wants to play or just stroking lemurs, this species is needed sleep. Why not keep an animal that has a pattern similar to our own bed, so we need to share love with the animals to be channeled.
People, STOP BUYING slow loris for any reason.
STOP TREATING slow loris.
Friends who want to submit the lemurs can contact the Foundation for IAR Indonesia. So far the only institution which has a MoU with BKSDA, meaning they are eligible for rescue & Shah-rehabilitate-melepasliarkan lemurs.
