Mission Statement

The Lemur Conservation Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the primates of Madagascar through managed breeding, scientific research, education, and art.

Description

Myakka City Lemur Reserve

The Lemur Conservation Foundation is home to over 50 lemurs of six different species, most of which are critically endangered or endangered. Incorporated as a non-profit in 1996, LCF has since grown into an AZA certified related facility dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the primates of Madagascar. The Mianatra Center for Lemur Studies and the Anne & Walter Bladstrom Library are also located at this facility and serve as a preeminent site for educational resources for visiting students, educators, and scientific researchers.

Madagascar Programs

The Lemur Conservation Foundation partners with scientists and conservationists on the ground in Madagascar, one of the world's hottest biodiversity hotspots, and the only place where lemurs are found naturally. LCF maintains an active office in northeastern Madagascar and supports conservation initiatives with a focus on community and habitat protection programs in and around Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve and Marojejy National Park.
