This was one of the very first lemurs I saw when I got to Madagascar. Been thinking more and more about this magical place and wanting to get back before what I remembered from back in 2007 is gone. Most lemur species are critically endangered due to habitat loss. Eco-tourism is vital to preserve the remaining forest but like most everywhere else, travel has been restricted by Covid. Unlike some other parts of the globe that have been re-wilding as a result of the pandemic — from what I hear — that hasn’t been the case in the land of the lemurs. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/3.5 at 1/500th of a second.
I’m no doctor or anything, but if Covid started when someone ate a bat, maybe it can be cured if someone kissed a lemur. At this point it’s probably worth a try, right? Could that person be you Sean?
great pic. ) may be you can take -up fund riser, bring one back to the united states. ? ) mhow does sounds. May be you could charge evey body that looks at your pic.s. A$ a small fee of . ( $ ) ?? what do think. ? )
They are so interesting, so curious–I’m sure that contributes to their decline, possibly making them attractive for the illegal “pet” trade. Every photo can become a little lesson encouraging all of us to try to save them. If it were only that easy. Great shot, Sean.
