The current population of slow lorises is in decline

Because slow lorises are nocturnal and the areas they live in are  ‘politically restricted’, it is hard to determine the exact amount of them that remain in the wild. Recent estimates put their population around one million.But it is known that the population is currently in decline and this is not only because that they are endangered by humans, but they also have a very slow reproduction rate so it is hard to repopulate.
