In 2010, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo/Cleveland Zoological Society allocated respectively $5,000 and $3,000 to our nocturnal primates project. Funds will help with collecting information on the home range, social and behavioural ecology of the Bornean slow loris (Nycticebus menagensis) and Bornean tarsier (Tarsius bancanus borneanus) at Danau Girang Field Centre. It will also help to build the capacity of a young Malaysian scientist and assist the Sabah Wildlife Department in monitoring the nocturnal primates community in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary.
