As you may have spotted on our social media, to celebrate hitting *2000 followers* on Instagram, we hosted a #SlowLorisArt competition, asking you to send in your most creative and beautiful renditions of our lovely lorises. As much as this was an excuse for us to pour over the work of our incredibly talented followers, we also wanted to highlight the crucial role art plays in conservation. Art inspires us to think and feel differently, making it the perfect pairing to our campaigns which are ultimately aimed at getting people to question their attitudes towards wildlife. 

Although we had to choose a winner, we wanted to show case all of the wonderful submissions we received. So here it is, our very own slow loris exhibition.

“Of course, nothing I paint could ever do [primates] justice, partly because so much of what makes them so wonderful comes from their complex inner lives, their social bonds, and their amazing behaviours. To lose them to extinction would be devastating beyond words, so I’m in eternal awe of the people who do such amazing work to protect primates like lorises! Thank you Little Fireface!”

Helmi Romdhoni, Indonesia

“With art, everyone can take a part in conservation. They can express how they’re feeling. Make it better way to send a message to everyone.”

Riskhey Nurardiliyanti, Indonesia

“I’m so glad to draw something new. Good luck Little Fireface Project!”

Amin Indra Wahyuni, Indonesia

“These awesome loris art will attract people to ask what is a loris and will lead them to conservation efforts. Art plays a big role in attracting attention.”

Sarah Ann, UK

“Wildlife conservation means speaking for the ones that cannot and saving the animals for future generations.”

Rizqi Rizaldo, Indonesia“Through art, things will be heard, and we need all the voices for conservation.”
