Lemur Monitoring

Seeking qualified and highly motivated volunteer research assistants to contribute to an on-going lemur monitoring program in southeastern Madagascar in the second half of 2015 and again in 2016. Nine lemur species, several of which are critically endangered, are present in the remaining yet unprotected forest fragments, as is a rich variety of other endemics (birds, chameleons, tenrecs, etc.). The monitoring effort is led by OHDZA and its partner, the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership (MBP; a Malagasy nongovernmental organization), and project involves following social groups of two Critically Endangered lemur species: the greater bamboo lemurs (Prolemur simus) or the black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata) in the mountainous terrain in the Kianjavato-Vatovavy landscape. The long-term goal of this project is to offer wildlife protection while gathering information on habitat usage, population dynamics, and territorial range.
