Perth Zoo is home to two species of lemur, the Critically Endangered Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur and the Endangered Ring-tailed Lemur.

As well as caring for our troops at Perth Zoo, our efforts to support lemurs extend well beyond Perth Zoo’s gates in South Perth.

We are proud to partner with Madagascar Fauna and Flora Group (MFG), an international organisation that carries out field work to support lemurs in the wild every day.

MFG protects the rich biodiversity of eastern Madagascar through conservation, research, education, and capacity building.

With the help of our community, Perth Zoo has been able to provide ongoing support to MFG, enabling the organisation to train rangers to protect wild land, provide a refuge for native tortoises and eleven species of lemur, reforest and restore lemur habitat, and carry out important conservation work in Madagascar’s Betampona Reserve.

Perth Zoo takes a holistic approach to conservation and recognises the importance of capacity building and community education. With our support, MFG delivers environmental education to students, and hosts thousands of people for practical conservation lessons at the Ivoloina Conservation Training Centre.
