Sobre nosotros

The Louisiana Lemur Foundation (LLF) officially became a non-profit organization in 2017. LLF is committed to conservation, education, & scientific discovery by providing expert care to lemurs, participating in non-invasive research endeavors, & educating the public about all things lemur including the importance of their conservation & of biodiversity in general.

Our Mission
Conservation:
• Conservation is the act of protecting species and their habitats to promote biodiversity and prevent extinction.
Education:
• Public education is key to ensure lasting changes in the name of conservation. LLF utilizes Lemur Conservation Foundation’s (LCF) interactive, informative, and engaging environmental education program, the Ako Project.
• LLF is in the process of developing volunteer and internship programs as well as group tour programs for the eventual Louisiana Lemur Center.
Scientific Discovery
• LLF believes in a strict code of non-invasive research that contributes to our knowledge of the unique primate group, Prosimians.
• LLF supports other organizations that conduct research in this same manner.
• LLF is in the process of developing its own research projects to be carried out with lemurs rescued from the pet trade that will call the Louisiana Lemur Center home.

Projects:
• Louisiana Lemur Center: We are currently working to establish the Louisiana Lemur Center, which will house rescued pet trade lemurs and utilize rehabilitation, training, and non-invasive research programs developed with the highest standards in animal care and management. One of the biggest threats endangering lemurs is the high demand for them in the pet trade. Although illegal in most of the United States, many people still keep lemurs as pets, despite the obvious detriment that doing so has on the lemurs’ well-being.

Tina Aust is the President & CEO of the Louisiana Lemur Foundation (LLF).

For other net participants we can offer an expert guidance through trained staff, give an expert opinion, procure expert information and establish new contacts in the field of our work.
