    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    The lemur experience and conservation project aims to educate the public about the importance of protecting lemurs and their habitat, especially the Nosy-Be lemur population. Participants who are interested in ecological research and conservation work should take advantage of this project.  Active participation in the research and long-term management of lemur populations would be required in a controlled sanctuary.

    Because of widespread deforestation, the destruction of their natural habitats, and poaching, lemur populations in Madagascar have been declining over time. Through habitat restoration, population monitoring, and public awareness campaigns near the program locations, the conservation project in Nosy Be seeks to address these issues.

    Lemurs face an alarming level of endangerment, with a staggering 98% of lemur species on the brink of extinction. Shockingly, 31% of these species are classified as critically endangered. Our mission is to rescue lemurs from the precipice of extinction through a multifaceted approach. This includes breeding and nurturing these remarkable creatures, offering essential education to our visitors, and safeguarding them through conservation efforts. Furthermore, we are committed to relocating them to the secure confines of Nosy Antsoha, a private island dedicated to their protection.

    At this location, nature lovers have the ideal chance to get up close and personal with different species of lemur. In addition to routine duties like feeding the lemurs and maintaining the environment, specific data collection that creates an ever-evolving database of the lemur population will be carried out under the direction of a subject matter expert. Consolidate the necessary information by opening a file for each lemur. Additionally, details about species like turtles and chameleons will be included in a database of records. The factors of age, sex, breeding, behavior, distinctive traits, and physical characteristics will be combined.

    With the aid of specific information, the park veterinarian will be able to determine the appropriate care each resident requires. You will be able to communicate in English and raise sanctuary visitors' awareness of lemurs.

    Additionally, you would assist in creating awareness campaigns aimed at educating the local community on the importance of protecting the lemur population and its habitat. Further, your daily routine starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m.

    Your Role

    As a participant, you have a significant impact on Nosy Be's conservation efforts as well as the health of lemurs living in a controlled environment. Your contribution aids in the preservation of this special environment and its inhabitants.  Before you begin your volunteer work, it is essential to understand your role, responsibilities, and expectations.

    Your general duties will include the following:

    • Assist in the food preparation and feeding of the lemurs.
    • Assist in cleaning the areas where the lemurs are
    • Assist in the care of other species in the sanctuary.
    • Create, add to, and follow up the database of the lemurs and other species that inhabit the sanctuary (Age, sex, breeding, daily behavior, identification markers and physical characteristics)
    • Create, add, and follow up on the growth) the database of flora at project locations.
    • Converse and offer insights to visitors coming to the sanctuary in English.
    • Create a seamless handover of this program for the next batch of participants to continue evolving this program in Nosy Be under the guidance of the subject matter expert.

    Thus, make your life’s purpose completely worthwhile and take this meaningful program and enjoy and experience Nosy Be popular wildlife known as the Lemurs.
