Madagascar: Wildlife and Lemur Conservation

Introduction

Join this wildlife conservation project alongside a leading conservation organization working with critically endangered species.

As a participant your work will be focused on collecting data on the Black Lemur, Nosy Be Sportive Lemur and the Nosy Be Mouse Lemur. Based in the Lokobe National Park, you will also focus on conducting surveys of the forest recording sightings of the panther chameleon as well as various amphibian and butterfly species.

Another large focus of your project will be on habitat restoration and you will be working on initiatives focused on the regrowth of indigenous species.
