A second more positive thought, as bad as it is with over 50 large endemic trees cut down over the previous weekend, it seems that this chess game for species survival is somewhat working. The illegal charcoal workers are having to work only on the weekends, thinking that government officials and rangers will not be around to do anything.
And the illegal work requires these individuals to carry the wood out of the forest to make charcoal, which is not very productive. Progress comes in small portions, but every conservation step forward is in an important one toward preserving this sportive lemur through this pandemic and beyond. However, the Red List update has evidenced that there is a lot more work to do. It is necessary to work hard, united, and close to the Malagasy population in order to save lemurs from extinction.
We invite everyone to join us at the Lemur Conservation Network and collaborate however it is possible. We are facing a crisis that goes beyond Madagascar and needs to be addressed by the world. The Research Department also maintains a large inventory of biological samples that are available for scientific study by qualified researchers or institutions e.
Our Division of Fossil Primates is making digital 3D images of DFP specimens available for download and research through MorphoSource , giving researchers and students — even high-schoolers! Students exposed to lemurs as undergrads have gone on to make huge strides in the areas of conservation and research. Alex Dehgan, founder of Conservation X Labs, is just one of many examples.
Public education: Because our research is entirely non-invasive, the DLC is open to the public! Thus non-researchers, too, are invited to visit and participate in our mission. Students intern in various departments, volunteers assist with cleaning and food prep, and camps , special programs , and tours engage children and adults of all ages and backgrounds.
