My endless love story with Lemurs and Madagascar (part 2)
Dear Fellow Lemur Lovers, My name is Domoina Ranjatoelina and this is my second article on Lemur Conservation Network’s blog. It took me a while to write this second blogpost, as I was traveling quite a lot lately and wanted to gather enough pictures and information from my travels.

My Week with Lemurs: Volunteering for Lemur Conservation

Earlier in the year, I was lucky enough to spend a week gaining work experience at a Safari park. The park’s troop of lemurs, including playful ring-tailed lemurs, white-fronted brown lemurs, & […]
