History of the World Lemur Festival

The first World Lemur Festival was celebrated in 2014, thanks to Jonah Ratsimbazafy of GERP Madagascar, one of Madagascar’s leading primatologists. It has been held every year since.
The festival raises awareness about the value of lemurs as Madagascar’s unique natural heritage among scientists and the general public. It aims to awaken pride for lemurs in Malagasy people, improve the economy through tourism, and promote lemur conservation and education worldwide.
