	Proboscis Monkeys Caught - Many Die
		IPPL believes that the species would have a better chance of recovery if the zoos claiming to want to help the species would pool their resources and help protect the animals in the wild and rehabilitate animals held in captivity in Indonesia.
		Unfortunately, the high-level tier of procurement of rare animals for zoos which are well-known, well-connected and well-funded zoos may cause disreputable zoos to want the animals the big zoos get, since they draw crowds and revenue.
		Suggest that the Ministry request zoos interested in saving the species to spend the money they would spend on obtaining and building housing for proboscis monkeys on projects to protect the animals in their natural habitat and establishing a well-run sanctuary for any that come into captivity.
