Rescue Stories

Every lemur has a story worth telling.

From Captivity to Canopy

Behind every rescue is a journey of survival, healing, and hope. The Lemur Freedom Project is proud to share these powerful stories that remind us why we fight to save Madagascar’s lemurs.

Mavo

Once sold in a roadside market, Mavo arrived with a fractured leg. Thanks to skilled veterinary care, he’s now thriving and learning to socialize again.

Sôva

Confiscated from illegal captivity, Sôva struggled with severe stress and malnutrition. Today, she enjoys climbing trees and foraging in her forest enclosure.

Kintana

Born in our care after her mother was rescued, Kintana represents the next generation of hope ;healthy, playful, and preparing for a future in the wild.

Dr. Ange Raharinirina

LFP Veterinary

When Mavo arrived, he could barely move. Watching him jump through the trees today is why I became a vet.
