Par exemple, plus de 98 % de tous les lémuriens sont menacés d'extinction (UICN, 2020). Les auteurs espèrent que ce programme (Lemur Love Writing Fellowship 2.0) permettra et soutiendra les chercheurs malgaches en début de carrière à se lancer et à établir des carrières dans les sciences de la conservation dans leur propre pays. Ils s’engagent à aider, à encadrer et à former les chercheurs en début de carrière les plus prometteurs de Madagascar en matière de conservation, car ils sont les mieux placés pour avoir un impact positif sur la conservation de la biodiversité de Madagascar, y compris les lémuriens. Note de contenu : Madagascar possesses extraordinary biodiversity, however, much of the country’s biodiversity is gravely imperilled. For instance, greater than 98% of all lemurs are at risk of extinction (IUCN, 2020). We hope that this program (Lemur Love Writing Fellowship 2.0) will enable and support Malagasy ECRs to embark on and establish careers in conservation science within their own country. We are committed to helping mentor and train Madagascar’s most promising ECRs in conservation, as we believe they are best positioned to positively impact conservation of Madagascar’s biodiversity, including lemurs.

Captive conditions of pet lemurs in Madagascar / Kim Reuter  

Public ISBD Titre : Captive conditions of pet lemurs in Madagascar Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kim Reuter ; Melissa S. Schaefer Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LEMURIENS LEMURIENS:Menaces et Pressions Mots-clés : LEMURS  MADAGASCAR  AFRICA  PET  TRADE  CAPTURE Résumé : Live extraction of wildlife is a threat to biodiversity and can compromise animal welfare standards. Studies of the captive environments and welfare of pet primates are known, but none has focused on Madagascar. We aimed to expand knowledge about the captive conditions of pet lemurs in Madagascar. We hypothesized that captive lemurs would often be kept in restrictive settings, including small cages, would be fed foods inconsistent with their natural diets and, as a result, would be in bad physical or psychological health. Data were collected via a web-based survey (n = 253 reports) and from the websites and social media pages of 25 hotels. Most lemurs seen by respondents were either kept on a rope/leash/chain or in a cage (67%), though some lemurs were habituated and were not restrained (28%). Most of the time (72%) cages were considered small, and lemurs were rarely kept in captivity together with other lemurs (81% of lemurs were caged alone). Pet lemurs were often fed foods inconsistent with their natural diets, and most (53%) were described as being in bad health. These findings point to a need to undertake outreach to pet lemur owners in Madagascar about the captivity requirements of primates.

Illegal Trade of Wild-Captured Lemur catta within Madagascar / Marni LaFleur  

Public ISBD Titre : Illegal Trade of Wild-Captured Lemur catta within Madagascar Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marni LaFleur ; Clarke, T.A. ; Kim Reuter ; Melissa S. Schaefer ; Casey terHorst Année de publication : 2019 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LEMURIENS LEMURIENS:Menaces et Pressions Mots-clés : STREPSIRRHINE  RING-TAILED LEMUR  PET  WIDLLIFE TRAFFICKING  CONSERVATION Résumé : Lemur catta is the most reported illegal captive lemur. We document 286 L. catta that were held in illegal captive conditions in Madagascar. Coastal tourist destinations are “hot spots” for sightings. Many of the L. catta reported were in businesses (49%) and were perceived to be held captive for the purpose of generating income (41%). Infant/juvenile L. catta were overwhelmingly observed annually in December (41%) and may suffer high mortality rates given that they are not weaned during this month of the year. Population growth modeling suggests that known capture rates may be sustainable in all but small populations of 500 individuals and when infants/juveniles are targeted. However, of the seven remaining populations of L. catta with more than 100 individuals, only one is known to contain more than 500 animals, and we present evidence here that infants/juveniles are targeted. Moreover L. catta face significant other threats including habitat loss, bushmeat hunting, and climate change. Several actions could reduce the illegal capture and ownership of L. catta in Madagascar such as tourist behavior change initiatives, enforcement of laws, and alternative livelihoods for local people. These interventions are urgently needed and could be adapted to protect other exploited wildlife in the future Titre du périodique : Folia Primatologica Volume : 87:48-63 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1159/000496970 Illegal Trade of Wild-Captured Lemur catta within Madagascar [texte imprimé] / Marni LaFleur ; Clarke, T.A. ; Kim Reuter ; Melissa S.

Live capture and ownership of lemurs in Madagascar: extent and conservation implications / Kim Reuter  

Public ISBD Titre : Live capture and ownership of lemurs in Madagascar: extent and conservation implications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kim Reuter, Auteur ; Haley Gilles, Auteur ; Abigail R. Wills, Auteur ; Brent J. Sewall, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Catégories : LEMURIENS LEMURIENS:Menaces et Pressions Mots-clés : AFRICA  CONSERVATION  LIVE CAPTURE  PET  PRIMATE  WILDLIFE TRADE Résumé : Overexploitation is a significant threat to biodiversity, with live capture of millions of animals annually. An improved understanding of live capture of primates is needed, especially for Madagascar's threatened lemurs. Our objectives were to provide the first quantitative estimates of the prevalence, spatial extent, correlates and timing of lemur ownership, procurement methods, within-country movements, and numbers and duration of ownership. Using semi-structured interviews of 1,093 households and 61 transporters, across 17 study sites, we found that lemur ownership was widespread and affected a variety of taxa. We estimate that 28,253 lemurs have been affected since 2010. Most lemurs were caught by owners and kept for either short (? 1 week) or long (? 3 years) periods. The live capture of lemurs in Madagascar is not highly organized but may threaten several Endangered and Critically Endangered species.
