Description: A baby slow loris and her mother were rescued after they were found in bamboo due to be harvested. <br/><br/>A local bamboo farmer caught sight of the mother and her two-month-old baby in a forest in west Java, Indonesia, on February 28.<br/><br/>The cuddly pair were miles from where they would normally be found and at risk as the bamboo was being harvested in the area.<br/><br/>The animals are also classed as critically endangered owing to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade.<br/><br/>Their 'cute' appearance means the animals often end up in markets or up for sale online as pets - after their teeth have been clipped off to make them easier to handle.<br/><br/>The combined rescue efforts of the Bogor Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA) and International Animal Rescue's Indonesian Partners (IARI), meant that these protected, precious animals were successfully evacuated.<br/><br/>They will soon be released into a safe conservation area where they can live happily.<br/><br/>Gavin Bruce, CEO of International Animal Rescue, says: “Thanks to the BKDSA and our IAR conserves programme, they had a narrow escape as we were alerted quickly.<br/><br/>\
