Only 10% of Madagascar’s rainforest still exists and wildlife within it is finding it tougher and tougher to survive. With your help, we're working to reverse this destruction and help secure a future for the animals and plants.

How can you help Perth Zoo save the Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur?

Perth Zoo partners with the Madagascan Fauna and Flora Group, to conserve native species in Madagascar. They work with the Malagasy Government to establish conservation goals, operate breeding-for-release programs to boost wild numbers of species and undertake conservation research. 

As well as saving the Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur, your donations help save many other lemur species native to Madagascar. Donations also help to purchase native habitat outright and train rangers to police it against poachers, propagate endangered plant species, and build capacity within the local communities by working with farmers on eco-agriculture principles.

It’s a lot of work but it’s critical to helping save Madagascar’s unique—but struggling—biodiversity.
