Why is it threatened and what are the risk factors to its survival?

Slow lorises are threatened in two ways, firstly their habitats are being destroyed by logging so they have nowhere to live, and secondly because there is a high demand for them in illegal trade for both their fur that is used in traditional medicines and as pets.

Humans are the biggest impact on the slow lorises survival, what we do will determine whether or not the slow loris becomes extinct. If we continue to destroy their natural habitat and steal them away to have as cute pets they will become extinct fast.
