Conceptualized in 2008, we began with a strong passion for nocturnal strepsirrhines, and the intense desire to someday meet these mysterious and elusive lemurs up-close. Around this time, the idea of a facility of this sort seemed like nothing but wild dreams, and the proposition was regarded without much value or interest from the greater primatological community.

Following the 2012 reassessment of the conservation status of living lemur species, IUCN would later announce the Lemur Action Plan in 2013, which specifically called for the development of captive management programs for Lepilemur, Avahi, Cheirogaleus and Microcebus sp.

Suddenly, our passion project seemed not only valuable, but urgently necessary if we are to ensure the survival of these animals.

In 2014, the project took on steam as we began working on design concepts and project names, fleshed out ideas for education programs, and made plans for our first independent trip to Madagascar.

From 2014-2019 we developed public outreach programs focused on nocturnal lemurs, participated in fundraisers both locally and internationally, and began reaching out to colleagues for guidance.

Suddenly, in 2020, COVID-19 closed down our world.

Our team, like the rest of the world, slowed down and stayed home in an effort to do our part in mitigating this global crisis. We participated in online outreach efforts to raise awareness for lemurs and their plight.

Now, in 2024, we are ready to coordinate with colleagues and start taking the first tangible steps toward our dream!

Currently, we are in the early stages of planning and implementation of a lot of our long-held dreams and goals.

We are ready to put boots on the ground and turn ideas into action.

We are seeking collaborators of all sorts!
From zoologists to microbiologists to project managers to investors, 

   We would especially like to send out a a call to arms for all nocturnal Primatologists who would like to join together and start developing plans and strengthening efforts!
