Saving the TarsiersThe tarsier is the cutest, bestest, most adorable animal on Earth!!! And if you want to save the tarsier:

1. Don't get one as a pet!!!

2. Help promote organizations that educate people about the tarsier (school presentations, Facebook)

3. Donate money to Organizations dedicated to saving the species

4. Support Philipine laws such as Proclamation 1030 (1997) declaring the Philippine Tarsier a specially protected species. They are also found in Indonesia, so support conservation laws in Indonesia as well.

5. Support the end to logging trees and destroying rainforests, which are the natural habitat of tarsiers.

Tarsiers are nocturnal, shy, hunting, social animals. If you get a tarsier as a pet this will:

• mess up it's circadian rhythm, sleeping during the night and staying awake in daylight; unnatural for this creature
• It will be forced to live in a cage where it can't hunt or be active ...so the tarsier gets no exercise...
• It won't be able to interact with other members of its species, which is extremely important because they are social nurturing creatures
• This will be Directly promoting the ILLEGAL trade of the endangered species, increasing smuggling, hunting, and threatening the species
• They have difficulty reproducing in captivity, so each time a tarsier is captured that means no offspring, and dwindling population numbers

Tarsiers can't physically or mentally handle being removed from their natural environments. In the wild they live for up to 24 years, In captivity they live 7-12 years...They become depressed and have been known to bang their heads against the wall or bars of the cage to cause self injury...which often leads to death.
