Each year, LCF visits several silky sifaka sites in Marojejy, Anjanaharibe-Sud, and Makira, as part of our long-term monitoring program for this rare, flagship species. We have established individual recognition for all individuals in these groups, and monitor changing group composition and local threats. Our team just returned from Marojejy Camp 2 where the group now contains 1 Adult Male named LFV, 1 adult female VSC, 1 subadult male LMT, and 1 juvenile female HMT. A subadult male MBV, is no longer part of the group and presumably dispersed. Sadly, the infant born in this group in July, died in August after the mother and infant fell to the ground from the canopy after a dead tree broke. The mother landed on the infant, gravely injuring the infant, who died a short time after.

Like a superhero, YOU have the power to defeat an evil foe - extinction. More than 100 species of lemur may cease to exist, some within a generation. You support will knock out the challenges that stand between lemurs and their secure future.

Recently a week-long GIS training was held in the LCF office in Sambava, focused on ArcGIS application Survey 123. LCF organized the training which was led by Angela Tarimy and Daulphin Razafimpahatelo from Project Manondroala, who are national leaders for GIS in Madagascar. The app can be used on smartphones in the field allowing georeferenced photos and data forms to be linked with ArcGIS. Participants included representatives from WWF, MGB, Madagascar National Parks, DREDD, and Wildlife Madagascar. Previous workshops attracted televised news as there is a real interest in and lack of such training locally. With national park representatives, LCF conducted 17 intensive patrols in Marojejy and Anjanaharibe-Sud last year which are critical to addressing the increasing number of illegal rice and vanilla fields as well as bushmeat hunting. Considerable data is collected during each patrol regarding disturbance sites and lemur sightings. Each patrol can include up to two dozen people for 3 to 5 days in difficult mountainous rainforest. Some patrols occur when new park boundary signs are installed as there is some confusion officially and locally as to where the exact boundary is for Marojejy/ASSR, as is true of many parks in Madagascar.

We recently completed our 11-month arboreal camera-trapping study in Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve rainforest, which was led by Patrick Ross collaborating with the Lemur Conservation Foundation, Wildlife Madagascar, and several professors in the USA. A total of 74 motion activated cameras were installed 12m high on tree trunks, and on the ground. We have only begun to analyze the thousands of images, but are very excited by the many lemurs, birds, and carnivores observed, including Critically Endangered silky sifakas and indri.

Today's #FlashbackFriday is all about Yuengling, the ring-tailed lemur! If you've been a follower of LCF for awhile you know Yuengling, as he is the eldest lemur we have on site (at 32) and has been here since 2003! Yuengling is one of the most easily identifiable lemurs here and also easily earns the love of every member of animal care staff and interns alike! We hope you enjoy these pictures of Yuengling over the years. #Yuengling #Lemurcatta #LCF #conservation #oldmanyuengling
