Lemur Conservation Network (LCN)

About us

The Lemur Conservation Network (LCN) is a project of the Madagascar Section of the IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group.
LCN connects over 60 organizations who are working to protect Madagascar’s unique lemurs from extinction with people worldwide who want to support the cause.
We aim to implement the crucial lemur survival action plan, protect lemur habitat, and save lemurs from extinction.
The Lemur Conservation Network raises awareness for lemur conservation and promotes the organizations, research groups, and zoos that work on the ground in Madagascar to protect its unique species.
The Lemur Conservation Network (LCN) will promote lemur conservation nationally and to the international audience through education, training, sharing information and communications.
