KAPIT: A slow loris found by a man here in his backyard was safely handed over to the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC).
SFC in a statement expressed its gratitude to the man known only as Lim.
“The slow loris was found by Lim on Thursday (March 3) in his backyard. Realising that the Ukang/Bengkang species is a fully protected animal, he quickly contacted us.
“While waiting for our arrival, Lim had placed the slow loris in a cage to ensure its safety,” it said today.
SFC stated that two of its staff, namely Esak Jalong and Henry Bajai, went to Lim’s residence for the retrieval process.
