Project objectives
At the end of this two-year project it is expected that the number of lemur hunting incidents at the project site will have fallen by 90%; that no forest will have been lost due to wild fires; that the abundance, distribution of and the threats to the three target lemur species are known; and that and two local people have joined our team as effective advocates for lemur conservation.
