Description Here's something I've been working on for Little Fireface Project , the slow loris conservation group that I mentioned in an earlier post. They're putting together a children's book to educate young kids about lorises and the part they play in their native ecosystem, and I'll be illustrating it! The plight of the lorises is something I've grown to care a lot about, so I'm pleased that I get to help out these animals in my own way.

Follow Little Fireface on facebook to keep tabs on their efforts (book included)! They are an amazingly dedicated diverse group of people and are doing great things for these cool little primates.

I love this, and your art is super adorable of course!

There are so many people that don't get the fact that captivity is NOT the best place for most animals. They should be in their native habitat, minding their own business.

Thank you <3

And yes it really bothers me how some people will see an animal and then instantly just want to own one because it's cute or cool-looking. :\ most people can't even manage a dog or a cat properly, let alone an undomesticated species!

Yeah, it's a bit depressing. But hey, that's why education is so important.

Definitely and I'm glad to be helping with that, both with this book and otherwise! LFP is hoping to be able to teach the children of Java how to appreciate lorises and why it's important that we keep them in the forests. Unfortunately some people just won't be taught - see all the youtube commenters that try to argue that it's better for lorises to be kept as pets instead of going extinct in the wild x((
