This species faces increasing pressures as a direct result from loss of habitat in the form of tavy (slash and burn agriculture), illegal logging and mining along with hunting for subsistence, even within protected areas. We report a marker suite of 21 loci developed from genomic DNA from a silky sifaka collected in 2003 from Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve. Polymorphism of each locus evaluated in 18 individuals pooled from Marojejy National Park and Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve. The number of observed alleles per locus ranges from 2 to 7. The observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.389–0.889 and 0.322–0.789, respectively. The information revealed in this study will provide useful tools for further study of the social structure and population dynamics of the silky sifaka to facilitate conservation management in the imminent future.
