The wild can be a 'death trap' for rescued animals‎

A new study has found that the wild can be a "death trap" for animals that are released from captivity after previously being rescued. The research, published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, involved Anglia Ruskin University primatologist Professor Anna Nekaris OBE and colleagues from the NGO Plumploris e.V. and the University of Western Australia, who studied the outcome of Bengal slow lorises (Nycticebus bengalensis) released in Bangladesh.
