Abstract: | All the lemurs of Madagascar are declining in the wild, but the species and numbers held in collections outside Madagascar are not sufficient to ensure the continuence of their genetic diversity in captivity. General recommendations as to how to rectify this situation are presented, including a strong plea for coordinated population management among collections holding lemurs. |
