Leena is a fourteen-year-old female mongoose lemur. Leena came to LCF when she was 2 years old and has been with us ever since. Since then, she has lived with her groupmate Merced and has mothered quite a family at LCF, including familiar lemurs like Julio, Lonzo, and LaMelo!

Leena's caretakers know her for her gentle and sweet personality, and she can always be found cuddling Merced!

Lusia is a female mongoose lemur (E. Mongoz) who lives with her groupmate, Mateo.

Happy Earth Day! Let this day serve as a reminder Happy Earth Day!

Let this day serve as a reminder of the importance that environmental conservation and sustainability hold for our planet. 

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that over 98% of lemurs will face extinction in the next 20 years. 

The Lemur Conservation Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the primates of Madagascar through managed breeding, scientific research, education, and art.

Our managed breeding program, following recommendations from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plans, is vital to preserving a genetic safety net for wild lemur populations.
Madagascar Monday! A reforestation corridor proj Madagascar Monday! 

A reforestation corridor project aims to reconnect 150 hectares of fragmented forest between Andasibe-Mantadia National Park and the Analamazoatra Special Reserve, home to a dozen lemur species and many other animals and plants that are found nowhere else on Earth.  The project has already planted more than 100 native tree species across 70 hectares, a portion of which were grown in soil inoculated with mycorrhiza, with seedlings showing high survival and growth rates. Even in its early stages, lemurs are using the corridor.
