And he’s released! Our amazing friend and partner @iscp_sumatra successfully rehabilitated our one-eyed slow loris friend, that they rescued far away at the Northernmost tip of Sumatra, as the first part of our collaborative expansion thanks to a generous grant from @action4ifaw! This little slow loris could have ended up a victim of the Indonesian wildfires and resulting wildlife trade expansion, but instead is back in the wild where he belongs! Thank you to the Sumatran wildlife authority where he was rehabbed and released from! And a huge thank you to IFAW for making this possible for the people and animals in North Sumatra! #slowloris #rescue #sumatra #leuser #ecosystem #conservation #wildlife #rainforest #humaneeducation #schools #universities #teachers #students #trapcamera #patrol

Our one-eyed slow loris’s continuing journey! Our partners @iscp_sumatra at the Sumatran wildlife authority, rehabilitating our rescued friend and transferring him to his transport enclosure! He could have easily become another victim of the Indonesian wildfires and resulting increased wildlife trafficking. We’re so thankful to be able to help ISCP give him and so many like him a more hopeful future instead! And a huge thank you to IFAW for making this possible for the people and animals in North Sumatra! #slowloris #rescue #sumatra #leuser #ecosystem #conservation #wildlife #rainforest #humaneeducation #schools #universities #teachers #students #trapcamera #patrol

Piggy’s little faces of Tanzania! Pepe (the light brown baby) and Roxy (the dark brown baby) are two of the latest newcomers at our collaborative first animal shelter in mainland Tanzania with amazing local partner @ismaelanimalrescue!

Piggy is starting to feel more himself now; he's walking as far today as he did before he got on the meds to stem the spread of his mast cell tumor!

It’s a new year, and we have so much to show already! Our partner school, @sumatrasapozumazuma, interviewed local palm oil farmers in Sumatra where we had been running our collaborative sustainability education program for the past year. This is one farmer who says he is giving up palm oil farming now in favor of sustainable fruit! The wildfires and deforestation won’t end until we give alternatives to palm oil farming! See his YouTube video interview:

We’re honored to help them change the face of the Leuser Ecosystem for the better! And thank you to LUSH, A Seed of Change, and @awellfedworld for making these changes possible! #palmoilfree #sustainable #farming #sumatrasapozumazuma #baturongring #school #English #animal #sumatra #leuser #ecosystem #communitydevelopment #humaneeducation #conservation #unesco #wildlife #schools #rainforest #teachers #children #students

Devastating news. Piggy just got diagnosed with a second form of cancer, a mast cell tumor. 😭We have restarted his GoFundMe, and updated it to reflect his new cancer. Link in the bio or here:

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-pioneer-a-new-prosthetic

We spent all day at NC State Veterinary Hospital yesterday, and he had every kind of test to find out how far it may have spread. So far, we know that it must be removed. We will get more updates tonight on how he is doing, but either way he needs the surgery to have a chance.
Piggy has been an inspiration to countless more people than we could have imagined around the world in the past year, even more than in previous years. He has helped children find the motivation to move after brain injuries kept them immobile. He has helped so many children overcome their phobias. He has helped children who were mute, find their voice. And he keeps me going every day as my service dog. Please help him get his surgery and follow up care to give him a chance.
Thank you so much.
