Abstract

Madagascar is a global biodiversity hotspot, with high levels of endemism coupled with a high degree of anthropogenic disturbance. Lemurs are important in maintaining the island's ecosystems. We examine the primary and emerging threats to lemurs, present a brief history of the conservation efforts implemented to preserve Malagasy ecosystems, and discuss the future direction of and prospects for conservation in Madagascar.
