Blue-eyed black lemur - Eulemur flavifrons

The blue-eyed black lemur is found in primary and secondary sub-humid forests North-West Madagascar, in an area of about 2700km².

There is only a small total population of around 3,000 remaining in the wild, the largest part is living in tiny forest fragments on and adjacent to the Sahamalaza peninsula - in the Sahamalaza National Park.
 

The blue-eyed black lemur is threatened by hunting, trapping and forest destruction, and is classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

Blue-eyed black lemurs live in small groups ranging from two to 13 group members.

Recent studies have found that females are dominant over males, which is unusual among mammals.

It costs just £8.00 to make a real difference and become part of the conservation of the blue-eyed black lemur. Your contribution will allow us to plant 3 trees in the Sahamalaza National Park, providing food and new habitats for one of the world's rarest animals.
