The Lemur Conservation Foundation is an environmental services organization operating a 130-acre lemur reserve in Myakka City, Florida, dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Madagascar’s primates through managed breeding, scientific research, education, and art. The facility houses multiple lemur species in family and multi-species habitats to support educational programs, internships, field training, visiting scholars, and ongoing research, while maintaining a genetically valuable captive collection and a managed breeding program regarded as highly successful in the United States. Its work targets conservation-minded audiences, including students, researchers, educators, and partner organizations, by offering field training, internship opportunities, and educational outreach that connect visitors with lemur biology and conservation challenges. Founded in 1996 (originally as the Lower Primate Conservation Foundation) and based in Florida, the organization has evolved into a recognized center for science-based conservation, education, and collaboration, with a history of partnerships and public engagement in support of lemur preservation. A recent collaboration noted is a partnership with Leaping Lemur Media, announced in July 2026, signaling ongoing external engagement to support lemur research and conservation efforts.
