One of the Lemur Conservation Network’s most impactful member organizations — the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership (MBP) — is in urgent need of new partners.
Since April 2024, the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership (MBP) has been standing on its own. They have raised over $1 million to continue their conservation work in Madagascar, keep local team members employed, and plant more than 1.85 MILLION trees across four critical sites.
But it’s not enough. They have been sustaining core operations using Ed and Susie Louis’s personal retirement funds.
This is not sustainable.
