From 15-21 October, we will be hosting and celebrating the 8th Annual Slow Loris Outreach Week. We hope that at some point during this week, slow loris projects, zoos and rescue centres around the world can reflect on and celebrate the great work they have done to help slow and slender lorises as well as pottos and angwantibos!
This year, you can expect daily blogs from slow loris projects, artists and enthusiasts from around the world; a special Rain Forest Live event as our team broadcasts live from the field; download our Building Bridges for Slow Loris Conservation pack; order the newest design in Slow Loris t-shirts from Animals Anonymous Apparel or awesome colouring books, prints and badges from Last Chance Earth, or your latest Asian travel diary from Adventurelogue with a percent going to Little Fireface Project.
On the 19th of October, we will team up with The Oxford Artisan Distillery, who have been distilling a very special Slow Loris Sloe Gin. You can make your own signature cocktail from 6-7pm with award-winning cocktalier Cat Rand. We also will host Oxford Etsy pop up shops, including our own Little Fireface goods from Indonesia.
After school activities from 3-6 involve slow loris mask making (if you cannot come you can download your own here!); face painting; pumpkin carving; a ‘how to be a slow loris scientist’ booth; and other activities including puppetry and film!
From 6 onwards, as the sun goes down and it all gets a bit more nocturnal, we will be serving the amazing Slow Loris All Day IPA from Big Hug Brewing as well as TOAD cocktails, accompanied by music from London-based DJ Titania.
A raffle will also be held (£5 a strip) with awesome prizes, including home wares from Lush Designs London and Badgers of Bohemia; tickets to the nocturnal exhibition at the London Natural History Museum; giraffe feeding at the Cotswolds Wildlife park, and many more!
