Project objectives

• Stabilize lemur populations through the reduction of hunting and deforestation by empowering local organisations;
• Expand the lemurs’ natural habitat through reforestation and use natural regeneration cycles to reduce forest fragmentation;
• Establish Vohitsara Base Camp as an ecotourism destination by developing a sustainable ecotourism business that benefits local communities and wildlife.
