Summary
Social media is a phenomenon that offers a host of challenges and opportunities for conservationists. The sector is rapidly evolving, with an increasing variety of platforms and social networking sites (SNS) that gain and lose popularity at unprecedented rates (Livingstone and Brake, 2010). These sites are frequently used to spread images of animals and this has a potentially devastating impact on species conservation, particularly with respect to charismatic mammals such as Lorisiformes (Vázquez et al., 2016).
