Join Me In Supporting Lemurs
MY FAVORITE CHARITY ORGANIZATION
Did you know Lemurs are the most endangered group of mammals on the planet today?
I fell in love with the gentleness of these unique mammals in 2012 after a friend of mine booked us a private Lemur experience at the Miami Zoo. Upon meeting the Lemurs for the first time, I fell in love with them and wanted to know everything I could about the remarkable species.
My journey of love and quest for knowledge led me down a winding road of discovery and I promised myself that one day I would take a trip across the world to see them in their natural habitat.
Four years after meeting the Lemurs and one year's worth of savings later, I booked a trip to Madagascar with the Lemur Duke Center for three weeks to experience them firsthand. It was one of those trips that changed my life forever.
"It was one of those trips that changed
my life forever."
​
I continue to support the Duke Lemur Center by bringing awareness and by letting people know where they can visit and support this amazing organization.
​
Since 1966, the Duke Lemur Center (DLC) has housed, cared for, and made available for non-invasive study nearly 4,000 animals across 31 species of non-human primates including lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers (together, colloquially referred to as prosimian primates). Today, it houses more than 200 individuals across 13 species.
The scientific endeavors at the DLC span a remarkable array of disciplines, from behavior and genomics to physiology and paleontology, and the Center is recognized as a global authority on lemur veterinary medicine. Conservation biology is also a major focus, providing the conceptual and operational bridge between the living collections of the DLC and its outreach activities in Madagascar.
​
The DLC is open to the public and educates more than 35,000 visitors annually. Its highly successful conservation breeding program seeks to preserve vanishing species while its Madagascar Conservation Programs study and protect lemurs—the most endangered mammals on Earth—in their native habitat. The internationally acclaimed non-invasive research center is located in Durham North Carolina.
