Owen Sound Field Naturalists: Chasing Lemurs: From Research to Conservation in Madagascar

Come celebrate World Lemur Day with a presentation by explorer, author, and conservationist Dr. Keriann McGoogan and explorer, anthropologist, and conservationist Dr. Travis Steffens. They will take us on a journey to Madagascar to learn about the amazing wildlife and landscapes, the challenges of field research, and how they are working to create sustainable forest communities through their charity Planet Madagascar. Madagascar is truly a place like no other and is the only place lemurs are found naturally — sadly these primates are the most endangered animals in the world. Keriann and Travis will have copies of Keriann’s book, Chasing Lemurs and some products from Madagascar for you to purchase if you want to help support lemur conservation.
