Lorisids must be carefully managed both in the wild and ex situ to ensure their continued survival. The Asian lorisines are rapidly diminishing in native habitats (Nekaris et al., 2010b), and while perodicticines are currently listed as Stable in the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species (IUCN, 2018), the lack of habitat will prove to be a threat to their long-term survival as African rainforests are being eroded (Pimley and Bearder, 2013). Most zoo and research populations are declining as well. Of all the lorisids, pygmy lorises (Nycticebus pygmaeus) currently have the best chance of attaining a self-sustaining ex-situ population. Although there are fewer than 50 pygmy lorises remaining in North America (Species360, 2018), an additional 150-plus animals are housed in facilities throughout Europe and Asia, thus enhancing opportunities for their ex-situ breeding management and genetic diversity.
