At Alobi Foundation, we focus on saving two of Bangka Island’s most vulnerable species:
The Western Tarsier and the Bangka Slow Loris.
Through rescue, research and education, we tackle the real threats they face together with local communities, authorities, and academics. Our mission is simple: to protect wildlife and restore the harmony of Bangka’s natural landscapes.
Western Tarsier Conservation Program
Scientific Name : Cephalopachus bancanus bancanus
IUCN Status : (VU) Vulnerable
Bangka Slow Loris Conservation Program
Scientific Name : Nycticebus bancanus
IUCN Status : (CR) Critically Endangered
This small nocturnal primate is under pressure from forest fragmentation on Bangka Island. We focus on rescuing affected individuals, and raising public awareness about the tarsier’s role as an indicator species for forest ecosystem health.
The Bangka slow loris, an endemic primate with a limited population, is often targeted by illegal wildlife trade as exotic pets. Our program focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating individuals, as well as educating the public on the dangers of keeping lorises as pets and the importance of conserving their wild populations.
