We express our gratitudefor your support of this project.
Preserving lemurs in Madagascar is imperative for the country's biodiversity and long-term ecological well-being. Lemurs play a crucial role in the ecosystem as both seed dispersers and pollinators. This initiative collaborates with Lokobe National Park on the island of Nosy Be to conduct research on endangered and threatened endemic species, including the black lemur, hawk's sportive, and mouse lemur.
In 2023 we conducted 343 biodiversity surveys and monitored 93 species including 10 endaered species.
Our focus aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action and Goal 15: Life on Land. These goals aim to address climate change and its impacts by safeguarding terrestrial ecosystems, promoting sustainable land use, managing forests responsibly, combatting desertification, reversing land degradation, and halting biodiversity loss.
We have led initiatives to clean litter and debris in the region. We were invloved with 8 site clean ups and collected around 70 kgs of waste. Contributing to a clearer environment with less risk to species in the area.
In the past year, Lokobe National Park hosted the inaugural Black Lemur behavioral study, providing insights into the trends and patterns of this Critically Endangered species. The study aimed to establish home range and common habits, yielding essential data for continuous region monitoring and future conservation planning.
To enhance the capacity of local rangers, over 20 individuals attended species identification classes, enabling them to guide tourists through the forest by learning species names in English.
Your support is crucial for the continuation of our work in Madagascar. Funds raised will contribute to essential resources for ranger classes, vital for their development.
Additionally, your donations will be allocated to resources and equipment, such as camera traps for the Lemur Behavioral Study.
We sincerely thank you for your support and interest in this project, and we look forward to providing you with updates on our progress.
With gratitude,
The Madagascar Project Team
