Our data include life histories of thousands of individual lemurs from our living colony; frozen and liquid-preserved specimens in our extensive BioBank; as well as osteological, fossil, and subfossil specimens at the Museum of Natural History. Together, these data tell the interconnected stories of lemurs and humans and provide for countless research opportunities.

We partner with institutions all over the world to learn how to better care for lemurs onsite and aid conservation efforts for wild lemurs in Madagascar.
