Madagascar is a magical landscape with animals found nowhere else. A recent study reported by the BBC has found that almost all species of lemurs face extinction. The animals face various threats, primarily the destruction of their tropical forest habitat from slash-and-burn agriculture, illegal logging, charcoal production, and mining, as well as the hunting of lemurs for food and their live capture for the pet trade. All serious issues that affect their potential demise.
One of the leading lemur research centers in the world is the Duke Lemur Center. Founded in 1966, the Duke Lemur Center is an internationally acclaimed research facility. Their studies help us to understand the needs of all wild lemurs in Madagascar. You can support their work by DONATING to the Duke Lemur Center.
