- Lemurs they support
- Conservation work
- Community support
- Location
We develop sustainable tourism and run an ecolodge near Masoala National Park, where we support the community school and conduct reforestation to support northern bamboo lemurs. The Aspinall Foundation partners with local communities to implement effective, targeted conservation actions to protect a small number of high priority lemur species and their habitats, including greater bamboo lemurs, black-and-white ruffed lemurs, and indri. Association Mitsinjo was created in 1999 by the residents of Andasibe village, and manages the forest station at Analamazoatra Special Reserve. Biodiversity Conservation Madagascar (BCM) is the conservation arm of Bioculture Ltd. They manage two forests on behalf of the Malagasy government through Conservation Leases: a lowland rainforest in Sahafina and the Beanka dry deciduous forest in Maintirano. ICTE and Centre ValBio focus the world’s attention on Madagascar’s lemur crisis through targeted research, conservation, and capacity building. Their research station at the edge of Ranomafana National Park enables long term research and collaboration with the local community. Conservation Fusion conducts education programs with communities in northern (Antsiranana), eastern (Alamazaotra and Kianjavato), and southern Madagascar (Lavavolo). The Duke Lemur Center (DLC) advances science through interdisciplinary research on lemurs at its living laboratory in North Carolina. The DLC SAVA Conservation project conducts conservation through environmental education, community development, and research in northeast Madagascar. The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (DWCT) has been conducting conservation in Madagascar since 1983. The American Friends of Durrell support the Alison Jolly Madagascar Scholarship and cover the core costs of all of Durrell’s projects in Madagascar, including those in Lake Alaotra. With nearly 200 Malagasy members, including scientists and primatologists, GERP works with local communities to conserve lemurs and manages the Maromizaha forest in eastern Madagascar. The Lemur Conservation Foundation is part of the Species Survival Plan through managed breeding at their reserve in Florida. In Madagascar, they support education programs and a tourist and research camp in Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve, home to silky sifakas and indri. The Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership (MBP) incorporates research, education and community involvement to achieve sustainability in four regions of Madagascar. In Kianjavato, they have planted over 6 million trees in partnership with local communities! The Madagascar Fauna and Flora Group (MFG) unites organizations around the world to conserve Madagascar’s wildlife. With funding from its many partners, the MFG manages Parc Ivoloina and the Rendrirendry Research Station at Betampona Natural Reserve. Madagascar Wildlife Conservation protects the critically endangered Alaotra Gentle Lemur (Bandro) through education, ecotourism, and alternative livelihoods in the Lac Alaotra Region of Madagascar. Madagasikara Voakajy leads the management of seven protected areas in the Alaotra-Mangoro region and uses evidence-based interventions and stakeholder engagement to target conservation programs. Mikajy Natiora combines ecological research and local community involvement in the region surrounding the Sahamalaza Iles Radama National Park and Sofia region, in northwest Madagascar.
