Bangka slow loris, feared extinct, rediscovered on Indonesian island

The Bangka slow loris, a venomous primate last documented in the 1930s and listed as critically endangered and possibly extinct, has been rediscovered on Indonesia's Bangka Island. The finding, reported by Reuters, confirms the species' survival but provides no population estimates or conservation status. This rediscovery is significant for biodiversity science and may prompt renewed conservation efforts in a habitat under pressure from mining and deforestation.
