THE THREATS

W

Sadly the Surili and other endemic primate’s species of Java such as Javan Silvery gibbon, Javan Ebony langurs and the Javan Slow loris all face similar threats. These threats include : 1. Hunting 2. Sale in the illegal pet trade : young animals are hounded to exhaustion before being captured and mutilated prior to sale.

3. Habitat encroachment : their forest habitat is being cleared to make way for urban development, rice field and cash crop. It is estimated that 98% of the habitat has already been destroyed.

ith a wild population estimate for fewer than 2,500 genetically viable individuals, the Surili is one of rarest and endangered langur species in Indonesia according to the Primate Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union’s Species Survival Commission (IUCN/SSC). This primate also considered by Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Republic of Indonesia to be amongst the 25 highest species conservation priorities in Indonesia.

A CLEAR VISION It would be easy to be daunted by the scale of the threat faced by the Surili. But, as ever, we must look beyond this to devise a clear and defined project plan that will ensure this species’s survival.

An initial priority will be the confiscation of Surili that are held as pets. We will be working closely with the local and national authorities to rescue these animals, while also suppporting awareness campaigns to dissuade people from keeping them as a pets.

Of course, if we confiscate animals, we will need somewhere to care for them. And for that purposes we have collaboration with The Aspinall Foundation and the Widlife Indonesia Foundation whose manage and already operate the Java endemic primate rehabilitation centre and reintroduction project in West Java.

The current work to source an appropriate site has brought us into contact with a wide range of local people and organizations. This in turn has craeted opportunities for additional support, including the indentification of potential future release sites.

Using our colleagues knowledge and experience gained from three years reintroducing Javan gibbons, and langurs in Java, we know that such a programme can benefit not only the individuals being reintroduced but also the habitat and wildlife within the release site.

THE FOUNDATIONS FOR SUCCESS

1. Increase protection for, and improve scientific understanding of the Surili and other endemic primates of Java with a focus on tropical forest habitat and reintroduction; 2. Continue rescue and manage rehabilitation centre, and reintroducing confiscated Surili back to the wild; 3. Intensive monitoring of the post-release animals in their release sites; 4. Public awareness and education to inform public of the need to protect Surili and other endemic java’s primate species.
