{{Short description|Primate rescue center in Vietnam}}
Tilo Nadler (born 24th December, 1941) is a primatologist and the founder of Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC), which is the first wildlife rehabilitation center in Indochina. He was born in Dresden, Germany, to Arthur Heinrich Nadler and Irma (née Herbeke) Nadler and survived the Bombing of Dresden in World War II as a four-year-old along with his parents and younger sister Bia. The Partition of Germany led to regimented educational choices for citizens of Demokratische Republik (DDR) or East Germany and Nadler studied aircon engineering despite his aptitude for biology.[1]

Nadler became an avid birder and pursued ornithological research [2-16]in Eastern Bloc countries and served as head biologist in the 32nd Soviet Antarctic Expedition. He was funded for three years by the Frankfurt Zoological Society to train park rangers of Vietnam's Cuc Phuong National Park (CPNP), starting January 1993 to protect the habitat of the rediscovered endemic and critically endangered Delacour's langur. Just months into the project, two subadult male Delacour's langurs were confiscated by rangers and Nadler was tasked with hand-raising them.[17] EPRC was born out of the necessity to handle many newly rescued endangered primates including the Cat Ba Langur,[18,19] Tonkin snub-nosed monkey and Gray-shanked douc langur (GSD).
Nadler and his team is credited with the discovery of GSD as a new primate species in 2001 [20] as also the rediscovery of the Black langur [21], the black morph of Hatinh langur that could well be a separate species and is in the realm of ongoing research.[22] His research paved the way in splitting the silvered langur into two genetically distinct species, the Indochinese silvered (T.germaini) and Annamese silvered (T.margarita)[23,24]. Nadler and co-workers discovered a new crested gibbon species, the northern yellow-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus annamensis) in 2010.[25]
Tilo Nadler has earned repute as a leaf monkey or langur specialist, designer-cum-fabricator of housing and semi-wilderness areas for langurs, gibbons and lorises, reintroduction ecologist for Vietnamese primates, founder-editor of Vietnamese Journal of Primatology and conservationist working with communities for primate conservation. Van Long Nature Reserve is Vietnam's first and only reserve dedicated to conserving an endangered primate, the Delacour's langur, at Nadler's behest.
Nadler is married to Nguyen Thi Thu Hien and they have two sons.

Endangered Primate Rescue Center (Vietnamese: Trung tâm cứu hộ linh trưởng nguy cấp) (also known as EPRC Vietnam) is located in Cuc Phuong National Park, Ninh Binh province, in Vietnam's Red River Delta. 

The center is one of the first animal rescue centers in Vietnam and one of the largest primate rescue centers in Southeast Asia. It is a non-profit project aiming at rescuing, rehabilitation, breeding, research and conservation of endangered primate species in Vietnam.[1] 

History

In 1991, Tilo Nadler came to Vietnam to make a documentary film about Delacour's Langur. On this trip, he saw the threats that endangered primate species were facing. [2] In 1992, Frankfurt Zoological Society called for help from specialists to perform a langur conservation project in Vietnam and Tilo Nadler volunteered for this project. [2]

Starting from March 1993, Tilo Nadler built EPRC Vietnam and became the Director of the rescue center in Cuc Phuong National Park. [3] Currently EPRC Vietnam is managed under Vietnam Primate Conservation Program and it is operated by Zoo Leipzig and Cuc Phuong National Park. [1] Tilo Nadler has retired from the center, and it is now run by contracted Directors from Zoo Leipzig.[citation needed]

Facilities

At the present, EPRC Vietnam has more than 48 large enclosures, 2 electric-fenced semi-wild areas (one sized 2 hectares and one 5 hectares). The semi-wild areas are built to prepare qualified animals to be released into the wild. They also help researchers to study the behavior of primates changing from captivity to a semi-wild area. [1] There are enclosures with heated housing specifically designed for primate species of Central and South Vietnam. [1]

Animals

The Endangered red-shanked douc langur at EPRC Vietnam.

There are around 180 animals at EPRC Vietnam and this number fluctuates over time due to release, or death of animals. Some animals born at EPRC Vietnam are the first of their species to be bred successfully in captivity such as the Catba langur, Delacour's langur and Gray-shanked douc langur.[1]

There are 15 primate species there: [1]

- Lorises: Slow loris, Pygmy loris;

- Langurs: François' langur, Hatinh langur, Catba langur, Delacour's langur, Indochinese gray langur, Laotian langur;

- Douc langurs: Red-shanked douc langur, Gray-shanked douc langur;

- Gibbons: Black gibbon, Northern white-cheeked black gibbon, Southern white-cheeked black gibbon, Northern yellow-cheeked black gibbon, Southern yellow-cheeked gibbon.

Funding

Approximately 75% of support for EPRC Vietnam comes from Zoo Leipzig. The rest comes from donors, donations, volunteers and merchandise.

Staff

There are currently 31 staff at EPRC; most of them are animal keepers coming from Muong ethnicity.[1]
