  • Wildlife Madagascar

    Supporting Member of LCN

    Wildlife Madagascar seeks to address Madagascar’s biodiversity crisis by integrating wildlife conservation programs with community development. They conduct scientific studies, provide habitat protection, and partner with local communities in training, resource use, and enterprise to create lasting and sustainable change.

  • Aspinall Foundation

    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.

  • Biodiversity Conservation Madagascar

  • Centre ValBio & the Institute for the Conservation of Tropical Environments

    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

    Conservation Fusion conducts education programs with communities in northern (Antsiranana), eastern (Alamazaotra and Kianjavato), and southern Madagascar (Lavavolo).

  • Duke Lemur Center

    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.

  • Eden Reforestation Projects

    Eden Reforestation Projects has 46 project sites in Madagascar, employing over 3,400 people and planting over 77 million trees. They began with mangrove reforestation in 2007, and grew to include dry deciduous forests in 2012 and highland forests in 2020.

  • German Primate Center

    The Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology Unit has been operating a field station in Kirindy Forest near Morondava since 1993, where they study 8 sympatric lemur species including Propithecus verreauxi and Microcebus berthae.

  • GERP: Groupe d’étude et de recherche sur les primates de Madagascar

    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.

  • Impact Madagascar

    IMPACT Madagascar works in 5 sites across Madagascar to conserve Madagascar’s unique biodiversity while improving the lives of its people. Their projects range from ecological conservation to training and education, from recycling to construction.

  • Institute of Zoology, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo)

    The Institute of Zoology at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover protects lemurs through on-the-ground research, capacity building, and captive management, both inside and outside Madagascar, with a focus on nocturnal lemurs.

  • LEEP at University of Arizona

    The Laboratory for the Evolutionary Endocrinology of Primates (LEEP) focuses on primate research and conservation, with a focus on lemurs and how lemurs negotiate survival and reproduction in dynamic environments.

  • Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership (MBP)

    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!
