Abstract:

The Duke Lemur Center in the Duke Forest, the only lemur center in the world, offers the rare opportunity to observe and learn about endangered lemurs. The center is devoted to conserving the lemur, which is a primate indigenous to Madagascar, and has partnered with the Madagascar Fauna Group. Together they work with the Malagasy people in reforestation, sustainable agriculture, and conservation of the dwindling habitat.
