CURRENT FOCAL SPECIES:

As we are in the planning stages of the project, the focal species may change as we reassess the needs and potential of various species. We are always open to collaborations with fellow professionals on recommendations!

Wright's Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur wrighti)

• Representative of "robust" Lepilemurs:

  • Larger body size, larger ears, thicker face

  • Colorful and distinctive pelage

• Found in south-eastern Madagascar

• Only nocturnal primate known to be sexually dichromatic

• Appears to be the largest of the known Lepilemur species

• Endangered species in need of protection

  • Region is currently extremely difficult to access due to local
    unrest, potentially increasing active threats to their habitat

AEECL's Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur aeeclis)

• Representative of "robust" Lepilemurs:

  • Larger body size, larger ears, thicker face

  • Colorful and distinctive pelage

• Found in north-western Madagascar

• Endangered species in need of protection

Ankarana Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur ankaranensis)
      & Daraina Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur milanoii)

• Representative of "petite" Lepilemurs

  • Smaller body size, smaller ears, petite face, more cryptic pelage

  • Found in northern tip of Madagascar

• IUCN has specifically requested the establishment of a scientific monitoring site in northern Mada (Analamerana, Ankarana and/or Andrafiamena)

• Both are sympatric species; may be synonyms

• Both currently listed as Endangered, but may be in need of evaluation

James' Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur jamesorum)

• Representative of "petite" Lepilemurs

  • Smaller body size, smaller ears, petite face, more cryptic pelage

  • Found in south-eastern Madagascar

• Critically-Endangered species in urgent need of protection

CURRENT FOCAL SPECIES:

As we are in the planning stages of the project, the focal species may change as we reassess the needs and potential of various species. We are always open to collaborations with fellow professionals on recommendations!

Manombo Woolly Lemur (Avahi ramanantsoavanai)

• Representative of south-eastern Avahi

• Sympatric with our focal Lepilemur species, Lepilemur wrightae

  • Region is currently extremely difficult to access due to local
    unrest, potentially increasing active threats to their habitat

• Vulnerable species, meaning their population is stable but at risk

Sambirano Woolly Lemur (Avahi unicolor)

• Representative of north-western Avahi

• Critically-Endangered species in urgent need of protection

CURRENT FOCAL SPECIES:

Amber Mountain Fork-marked Lemur (Phaner electromontis)

• Representive for fork-marked lemurs

  • Visually-striking pelage

  • Loud and distinctive vocalizations

  • Unique, highly-active movement patterns

• Endangered species in need of protection

• May live sympatrically with other focal species (Lepilemur ankaranensis & Lepilemur milanoii)
