Receiving and releasing a rare slow loris into the Ea Sô Nature Reserve.

On December 13th, the Ea Kar Forest Protection Department, in coordination with the Ea Ô Commune Police, received a slow loris weighing approximately 0.5 kg from Mr. Le Van Dinh, residing in Ea Rot hamlet, Ea Ô commune, in accordance with regulations on wildlife protection.

According to reports, this individual was discovered and encountered by Mr. Dinh while he was tapping rubber trees in the commune. Recognizing that it was a wild animal belonging to the group of endangered and rare forest animals, he proactively contacted the authorities to hand it over, demonstrating his responsibility towards biodiversity and nature conservation.

It is known that slow lorises are classified as Group IB in the list of endangered and rare forest animals, and their exploitation, breeding, and commercial use are prohibited, contributing to the conservation of forest ecosystems.

After receiving the animal, the Ea Kar Regional Forest Protection Department and related units conducted a health check, completed the necessary procedures, and released the slow loris back into its natural habitat in the Ea Sô Nature Reserve, ensuring safety and compliance with conservation regulations.

This not only contributes to protecting biodiversity but also raises public awareness of the responsibility to protect rare wild species.
