Join us for our first ever SLOW online conference, with speakers from almost every loris range country joining us via the power of ZOOM! You can book your tickets by following this link. 

What can you do?

Wherever you are, you can support Little Fireface Project by asking your local cafe to donate 10p of every latte sold on one of the days of SLOW 2020 to help loris conservation! Proceeds will go to our Enterprise Network Coffee Project, supporting farmers to grow shade trees on their land providing canopy continuity for wildlife. Our wonderful supporters Memphis Zoo and Moody Gardens Zoo have already made this model work – it is a great way to educate people about the importance of wildlife friendly standards and loris conservation! 

Visit Peppermint Narwhal’s Etsy shop and pick up a pin version of the loris in the cute coffee logo! Peppermint Narwhal have been supporting animal conservation for a number of years, and this year designed some special pins to support animal conservation, including Javan slow loris!

We have teamed up with Avery and Masa, a Javan slow loris and a red panda whose goal is to be protectors of the endangered! Download their Java Lava pack and celebrate SLOW 2020 in Avery and Masa style!

We all know selfies with wild animals are a big no-no, so like our coffee programme, we have made them #WildlifeFriendly! Keep your eyes peeled for our SLOW 2020 #SlowSelfie Instagram filter, your one chance to get snapped with our beautiful slow loris illustrations. Make sure to tag @littlefireface and use the hashtag #SlowSelfie, we can’t wait to see where our lovely loris ends up!
