Kohima: A Slow Loris is back in the wild. Nihoto K Yepthomi of Sukhalu village found the primate on July 4 and handed it over to the Zunheboto District Tourism Association for professional care. The organization evaluated the animal before releasing it into the Sukhai Biodiversity Conservation Area this past Saturday.
ZTDA officials thanked Yepthomi and the Sukhalu community for their quick thinking. Protecting wildlife requires a team effort. The association is now urging locals to report any injured or displaced animals instead of taking them home.
Keeping wild animals as pets is a bad idea. The association warned that collective action is the only way to save the region's diverse species. They reminded the public that "collective efforts by local communities play a vital role in safeguarding Nagaland's unique wildlife heritage for future generations."
