“Lemures” in Latin means “ghosts” or “spirits.” A sadly appropriate name for lemurs, as all we might have in the future might be their ghosts wandering the trees where they used to live.

A few years ago, my older sister spent 8 months studying, photographing, and videoing lemurs for a nonprofit organization, whose goal was to bring awareness to their plight. Like many species on our planet, lemurs are endangered and facing extinction as their habitat is destroyed by humans. Found naturally only in one place in the world, Madagascar, these amazing and beautiful animals will be around only as long as we are able and willing to save them.

I am in no way affiliated with any of them nor asking you to donate any money, but if you are interested in learning more, there are several nonprofits whose aim is to help the lemurs and other animals of Madagascar avoid extinction. They provide education and outreach, and you can find more information about them at the Lemur Conservation Network website, which lists a number of nonprofit organizations involved in saving lemurs.
