Title: Anyone in or going to be in Marmaris with a camera ????
Post by: nichola on September 30, 2013, 15:09:02 PM

If anyone is likely to be in Marmaris in the next couple of weeks....

There have been reports of a Slow Loris being used for photo opportunities on the beach.

It's not a dangerous job we just need a photo to confirm if it is indeed a slow Loris and to confirm that there is a trade for these animals in Europe.

The illegal trade in Slow Lorises is pushing these endangered primates ever closer to extinction.

From Karacan Point Centre carry on to the beach. Looking out to sea turn right and the bar is down there - no name for the bar confirmed unfortunately.

Just one look at this poor little fella's face should hopefully spur someone on to help

I have found what I needed; Instagram and Tumblr are wonderful things allowing people to post photos of themselves holding the evidence in their hands.

Thanks for your support Menthol. Nice to meet you when you were over and good luck with the house hunting   :)

Good luck, Nichola.

I suspect you are someone that 'gets the job done'.   :)

Thanks Menthol. I'm just doing some digging for an organization that wanted proof and now we have this and quite a lot more besides to pass on which is great.
