About us

The Lemur Conservation Network (LCN) is a project of the Madagascar Section of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group.
LCN connects over 60 organizations who are working to protect Madagascar’s unique lemurs from extinction with people worldwide who want to support the cause.
We aim to implement the crucial lemur survival action plan, protect lemur habitat, and save lemurs from extinction.
The Lemur Conservation Network raises awareness for lemur conservation and promotes the organizations, research groups, and zoos that work on the ground in Madagascar to protect its unique species.
The Lemur Conservation Network (LCN) will promote lemur conservation nationally and to the international audience through education, training, sharing information and communications.

Services:
• IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group of Madagascar published Lemurs of Madagascar - A Strategy for their Conservation 2013–2016 in the journal Science. The Lemur Conservation Network promotes this lemur action plan and the conservation organizations who are working to protect Madagascar’s wildlife. It is a funding guide for individuals—and potential donors—who want to support lemur conservation, and a resource for organizations who want to promote their work.
• Blog and Social Media: Our blog features posts from a variety of researchers, conservation leaders and lemur enthusiasts, so potential donors can learn about conservation on the ground in Madagascar, and become even more interested in preserving Madagascar’s natural wonders. Our Facebook and Twitter pages raise awareness about lemur conservation, and encourages lemur fans worldwide to actively support our organizations through donations.
• Our Website: Each participating organization has a page to share their story with donors, so that individuals can get to know the variety of organizations working to save Madagascar’s unique wildlife, and find lemur conservation organizations to support.
