Featured Activities
Celebrate the Lemur Conservation Foundation’s 8th Annual World Lemur Festival with these free activities!
Welcome to the Festival! We hope you enjoy the many fun and free activities listed below.
Lemurs are the most endangered group of mammals on Earth, but our collective actions can make a difference for these primates.
This year, six lemurs representing three endangered species were born on the Lemur Conservation Foundation’s 130-acre lemur reserve in Myakka City, FL. Each baby born is a step toward saving the world’s oldest living primates.
Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy, learn, and share these activities with friends and family. Together, we can save lemurs from extinction!
