The Lemur Freedom Project (LFP) is a pioneering initiative dedicated to rescuing lemurs from captivity, providing expert medical and emotional care, and returning them to the wild when possible.
With over 100 lemur species at risk of extinction, we act urgently to combat illegal trafficking, support conservation science, and engage local Malagasy communities in long-term solutions.

Our mission is to rescue trafficked lemurs, rehabilitate them with expert care, and release them back into the wild or provide sanctuary when rewilding isn't possible.
We focus on the entire journey of each lemur — from confiscation to rewilding — while empowering Malagasy communities through training, jobs, and leadership roles.
We are building two main centers: Ivato, for triage and rehabilitation, and Nosy Kissimasy, a long-term sanctuary for unreleasable lemurs.
Every donation helps us build shelters, train veterinarians, feed and medicate lemurs, and fund our education campaigns to stop the pet trade.
