Planet Madagascar will be joining us for an exciting evening talking all about lemurs and the important in situ work being done to protect Madagasar’s unique biodiversity. Travis Steffens, Planet Madagascar’s founder and director, will speak to the amazing biodiversity of Madagascar including lemurs, the most endangered group of animals in the world. He will be joined by Malagasy researchers, Mamy Razafitsalama, the in-country director of Planet Madagascar, and Dr. Bertrand Andriatsitohaina, a former Program Manager. Both will speak about the importance of incorporating community members into conservation, how they’re pivotal to the success of each project, as well as the role of fire and its impacts on lemurs and the people in Madagascar.
