Hooray! You've donated $3K! This will cover the cost of a microscope, enhancing the lemurs' health and facilitating collaboration with researchers to promote species' survival. There is still time to do even more! Reaching $6,000 will provide specialists for lemurs including Voltaire, who needs an ophthalmology consultation! Go to www.lemurreserve.org (link in bio) or text LEMUR to 269-89. Together, we can save lemurs!

#GivingTuesday is here! Did you know your donation

#GivingTuesday is here! Did you know your donation will provide geriatric lemurs like Yuengling with specialized care to make their golden years serene and pain free? Yuengling, a ring-tailed lemur now in his 29th year (very old for a lemur!) and his partner, Ansell, have 10 healthy children and nearly two dozen grandchildren, all helping to preserve their species from extinction. Yuengling has done so much for his species - he deserves the very best care we can provide. YOU can secure Yuengling's and the rest of the colony's future! Please, donate now - and spread the word to your friends and colleagues. Together, we can save lemurs from extinction! www.lemurreserve.org – or text LEMUR to 269-89

This Thanksgiving Lemur Conservation Foundation is

This Thanksgiving Lemur Conservation Foundation is proud to join with 180 other zoos, aquariums, and museums in support of the #AmericatheBeautiful initiative, thankful for all who are working towards the goal of #30x30. Together we can conserve 30% of America’s lands, waters, and ocean by 2030!

Did you know sharing pictures and videos of people

Did you know sharing pictures and videos of people touching/holding lemurs hurts #conservation efforts? Imagery like this causes people to believe #lemurs are less endangered than they actually are. With 98% of lemurs threatened with #extinction, you can help at home by practicing responsible social media habits. Remember to only share cute lemur content that does not include people touching these wild animals.

Say hello to our #FeatureFriday Isabelle! Isabelle

Say hello to our #FeatureFriday Isabelle! Isabelle, nicknamed Izzy, is a collared #lemur (Eulemur collaris) and was born here at LCF on April 16, 2018 to parents Jolene and Antoine. Izzy now lives with her partner Olivier and their young son Voltaire (born April 2, 2021).

This family, while little, consists of three very different personalities. Isabelle is a ferocious eater and always makes sure to get first dibs on food over her boys. Olivier is quite the nosy neighbor, always needing to know what his neighbors are doing. And Voltaire, while young and playful, is a little more reserved- preferring to hang back in new situations until mom and dad give him the all clear.

Who’s this? We have a new face at the reserve! Say hello to female ring-tailed #lemur (Lemur catta) Dalia! Dalia is 4 years old and came to LCF from the @philadelphiazoo on a breeding recommendation by the AZA’s ring-tailed lemur Species Survival Plan (SSP).

Shortly after her arrival, she was introduced to her new beaux- Goose! Upon meeting Goose, Dalia wasn’t overly impressed, so Goose had to turn on the charm to bring her around. The two now spend their days cuddled up against the Fall weather. We’re so excited to see this new pair grow and develop together in the coming years!

Did you know? Mongoose lemurs are one of only two

Did you know? Mongoose lemurs are one of only two lemur species found in nature OUTSIDE of their native home in Madagascar. Mongoose #lemurs can be found in the Comoros Islands located northwest of Madagascar. It’s a mystery how they got there, but likely they were introduced by humans or rafted across on floating vegetation.

LCF is currently the home of 15 of these #criticallyendangered primates.

#MadagascarMonday Our team in #Madagascar recently

#MadagascarMonday Our team in #Madagascar recently organized and supported 2 student groups (28 students in total) from Club Vintsy (affiliated with WWF) in Andapa to #MarojejyNationalPark. For most students, it was the first time they visited Marojejy, though they live nearby. Thanks to recent infrastructure improvements, Camp Marojejia (Camp 2) is recently reopened.

3 days and 2 nights were spent at three different camps and at a local private reserve (Anolakely created by Mr. Jackson, pictured) which we are supporting. During these educational visits, students are challenged to learn about much of the fauna and flora, including critically endangered silky sifakas, and take notes. Environmental #education is a key aspect of our in-situ conservation work in the SAVA region.

It’s #FeatureFriday and this week we’re puttin

It’s #FeatureFriday and this week we’re putting the spotlight on Ravina! Ravina is the oldest female #redruffedlemur on the reserve at 14 years old. Ravina came to LCF in 2012 from the @gladysporterzoo in Brownsville, Texas on a breeding recommendation. Since then, she gave birth to son Afo in 2014, daughter Zazabe in 2016, son Frezy in 2020, and daughter Tsambiky in 2021!

These days Ravina lives with her family, including her partner Rivotra and their young offspring Frezy and Tsambiky. The group lives in the North Lemur Lodge with forest access through their custom overhead tunnel. Ravina engages in two primary activities: 1) lounging in the sun with her family or 2) chasing the ring-tailed lemur group that shares her forest home.

📣📣Name Announcement📣📣 Everyone meet L

📣📣Name Announcement📣📣

Everyone meet LaMelo, born here at LCF on May 3, 2021! LCF names all of our mongoose #lemurs with a Spanish theme, and not only is ‘LaMelo’ a unique Spanish name, but it might sound familiar to some sports fans.

LaMelo was named after the American professional basketball player, LaMelo Ball @melo, currently playing for the @hornets. Mongoose lemur LaMelo is not the only well-known Ball brother in his lemur family. His older brother, born April 1, 2019, is named Lonzo, another unique Spanish name. Lonzo Ball @zo (the human), brother to LaMelo Ball, is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the @chicagobulls.

The two lemur Ball brothers can often be seen bouncing and jumping throughout their enclosure in hopes of a slam dunk!

Did you know? The Ring-tailed Lemur Species Surviv

Did you know? The Ring-tailed Lemur Species Survival Plan (SSP) carefully manages a population of 515 individual #lemurs across 105 AZA-accredited organizations. With ring-tailed lemurs categorized as endangered by the IUCN, this vital SSP is able to ensure a strong, genetically diverse population to act as a safety net against extinction. The SSP’s team of experts coordinates with countless @zoos_aquariums members to ensure the long-term survival of this iconic #primate species. That’s something worth celebrating!

Spectacular new photos of the new Dining Area at C

Spectacular new photos of the new Dining Area at Camp Marojejia (Camp 2) taken by LCF's Madagascar Program Manager Louis Joxe Jaofeno! LCF has coordinated, funded, and monitored the 4 month construction of the expanded building into a steep rock face which offers spectacular views of Marojejy’s mountains. This camp has long been considered one of the most spectacular in #Madagascar. It is the only location where tourists can easily observe silky sifakas in primary forest. The entire region is grateful to the generous donor who has supported this project.
