Wildlife Madagascar is proud to share an exciting new partnership with The Meadows Wildlife Park in Cardiff, Wales — one that extends our mission to protect Madagascar’s extraordinary lemurs to new audiences across the UK. Through this collaboration, Meadows will incorporate Wildlife Madagascar’s conservation work into educational programming, interpretive signage, and digital communications, connecting visitors directly to the forests of Madagascar and helping them better understand both the beauty of lemurs and the challenges they face in the wild. Together, we are creating meaningful opportunities for people to not only learn about lemurs but also to understand the urgency of protecting them.
Conservation Beyond Storytelling: Fundraising, Field Visits, and Community Impact
This partnership goes far beyond awareness. It creates real opportunities for impact, from fundraising that directly supports our field programs to opportunities for Meadows staff to join us in Madagascar and experience this work firsthand. Most importantly, it expands our community of advocates, bringing more people into this shared effort to protect Madagascar’s wildlife and support the communities that depend on these forests.
About Madagascar’s Lemurs and Why They Need Protection
Lemurs are found nowhere else on Earth. Madagascar is home to over 110 lemur species, making it the global centre of lemur diversity — yet an astonishing 98% of lemur species are at risk of extinction, making them the most endangered group of mammals on the planet. Threats include habitat loss through deforestation, hunting, and climate change. Wildlife Madagascar works across four field sites in Madagascar — La Mananara, Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve (ASSR), Namoroka National Park, and the Angavo–Mandrare Landscape — conducting lemur research, protecting and restoring habitat, and working with local communities to build long-term conservation solutions. Partnerships like this one with The Meadows Wildlife Park play a vital role in raising the awareness and funding that makes this fieldwork possible. To learn more, visit our field sites page.
