'''Lemurs' Park''' (known locally as '''Réserve de Lémuriens et Parc botanique''')<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.lemurspark.com|title=Lemurs' Park|publisher=Website|accessdate=30 July 2014}}</ref> is a small botanical park of about 5 hectares with a tourist shop and restaurant, {{convert|22|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of [[Antananarivo]], [[Madagascar]], midway between [[Antananarivo]] and the international airport on national road NB1.{{LoM3 Sfn | pages = 671–672}} Visitors can get close to the wild lemurs (although touching and feeding is not permitted).
'''Lemurs' Park''' (also known locally as '''Parc de lémuriens à Madagascar''') is a small [[botanical garden]] and [[lemur]] [[Game reserve|reserve]] covering {{convert|5|ha|acre|abbr=on|lk=in}}, and is located {{convert|22|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of [[Antananarivo]], [[Madagascar]]. It was founded around 2000 by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge. Most of its nine [[List of lemur species|lemur species]] are free-ranging within the park, which also contains more than 70 of Madagascar's [[Endemism|endemic]] plant species. The park is open to the public, offering guided tours as well as standard amenities, a gift shop, and a restaurant. Visitors can arrange transportation between downtown Antananarivo and Lemurs' Park on a private park shuttle.


Most of the park's lemurs were confiscated [[Exotic pet|pets]], entrusted to the park by the Ministry of Water and Forests. The lemurs are rehabilitated and bred for [[reintroduction]] into the wild. The park also collaborates with [[Colas Group|Colas Madagascar]] and [[Total S.A.|TOTAL Madagascar]] to provide [[environmental education]] to local primary school children and to plant native trees as part of a [[reforestation]] program. Most of the park's staff come from the neighboring communities.
The park is located near the town of [[Ambatomirahavavy]] and lies between the main road and the Andromba river (a tributary of the [[Ikopa River]]). Most of the lemurs are free to roam, although there is also a caged quarantine area for the new arrivals and the nocturnal species. The lemurs are kept in the park by the regular supply of fresh fruit and food. There about 9 species of lemur (listed below).

==History==
Established around 2000, Lemurs' Park is a private, {{convert|5|ha|acre|abbr=on}} botanical park situated next to the [[Katsaoka River]] and between the villages of [[Fenoarivo, Antananarivo|Fenoarivo]] and [[Imerintsiatosika]], {{convert|22|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of Antananarivo along Route Nationale 1 (RN1) in the direction of [[Ampefy]].{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}}{{sfn|Bradt|2011|p=166}}{{r|LP_Presentation}} It functions as a lemur reserve that gradually [[Reintroduction|reintroduces]] captive-born lemurs back into nature.{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}}{{r|LP_Presentation}}{{r|LP_Home}} The park was founded by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge, the grandson of [[Pierre Boiteau]], Founding Director of the [[Tsimbazaza Zoo]] (Parc Botanique et Zoologique de Tsimbazaza) in Antananarivo.{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}}

==Attractions==
[[File:Rufus mouse lemur.JPG|thumb|right|As of 2013, Lemurs' Park houses at least two species of [[Cheirogaleidae|cheirogaleid]] lemurs, which are small and nocturnal.]]
[[File:Tortoise - Lemurs Park.jpg|thumb|right|The park also has [[radiated tortoise]]s and other reptiles.]]
The park, which primarily consists of pine forest and bamboo vegetation,{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}} contains nearly 6,000&nbsp;trees and more than 70&nbsp;plant species endemic to Madagascar,{{r|LP_Presentation}}{{r|LP_Visit}} all of which are segregated into separate climatic zones throughout the park.{{sfn|Bradt|2011|p=166}} Lemurs' Park also has a [[vivarium]] which houses [[chameleon]]s, [[radiated tortoise]]s, [[iguana]]s and other lizards.{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}}{{r|LP_Visit}}{{r|LP_Rates}}

The main attraction, for which the park is named, is its free-ranging lemurs. Featured daily feeding times occur every two hours between 10:00&nbsp;a.m. and 4:00&nbsp;p.m.{{sfn|Bradt|2011|p=166}} There are nine species, seven of which are active during the day ([[Diurnality|diurnal]]) and two are active at night ([[Nocturnality|nocturnal]]).{{r|LP_Presentation}}{{r|LP_Rates}} Many of the lemurs are confiscated [[Exotic pet|pets]], and the staff work towards rehabilitating them for reintroduction into the wild.{{sfn|Bradt|2011|p=166}}

==Conservation==
The supervised/guided tour takes approximately one hour.
Confiscated pet lemurs are entrusted to Lemurs' Park by the Ministry of Water and Forests (Ministère des eaux et Forêts) for [[ex situ conservation]]. This allows the urban population near Antananarivo to see free-ranging lemurs in a natural environment.{{r|LP_EnvEd}} In addition to rehabilitation, Lemurs' Park has also successfully bred Coquerel's sifakas (''Propithecus coquereli'') since 2007.{{LoM3 Sfn|pages=671–672}}
{{-}}


Because many of these lemurs have become endangered as a result of [[deforestation in Madagascar]],{{r|LP_Presentation}} Lemurs' Park participates in a [[reforestation]] program supported by [[Colas Group|Colas Madagascar]] and [[Total S.A.|Total Madagascar]]. Between December 2008 and May 2013, approximately 37,163&nbsp;students and 1,270&nbsp;teachers from the public primary schools around Antananarivo have helped plant 170&nbsp;native trees and participated in [[environmental education]] at Lemurs' Park. For many of the children, this program has allowed them to see free-ranging lemurs for the first time. In total, more than 11,000&nbsp; trees have been planted as part of this collaborative project, including [[rosewood]], ''[[Terminalia (plant)|Terminalia]]'', and ''[[amontana]]'' as of May 2013.{{r|LP_EnvEd}}{{r|Colas}} Saplings of endemic plants, including [[Adansonia|baobabs]], from the [[Madagascar spiny thickets]] in the southern part of the island have also been transported to the park and planted with the help of Colas.{{r|Colas}}
== Notes ==
{{reflist}}


According to the park, the partnership with Colas Madagascar and TOTAL Madagascar has also helped prevent layoffs of its staff during difficult economic times, over 90% of whom come from the surrounding communities.{{r|LP_EnvEd}}{{r|Colas}}

Lemurs' Park (also known locally as Parc de lémuriens à Madagascar) is a small botanical garden and lemur reserve covering 5 ha (12 acres), and is located 22 km (14 mi) southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar. It was founded around 2000 by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge. Most of its nine lemur species are free-ranging within the park, which also contains more than 70 of Madagascar's endemic plant species. The park is open to the public, offering guided tours as well as standard amenities, a gift shop, and a restaurant. Visitors can arrange transportation between downtown Antananarivo and Lemurs' Park on a private park shuttle.

Most of the park's lemurs were confiscated pets, entrusted to the park by the Ministry of Water and Forests. The lemurs are rehabilitated and bred for reintroduction into the wild. The park also collaborates with Colas Madagascar and TOTAL Madagascar to provide environmental education to local primary school children and to plant native trees as part of a reforestation program. Most of the park's staff come from the neighboring communities.

History

[edit]

Established around 2000, Lemurs' Park is a private, 5 ha (12 acres) botanical park situated next to the Katsaoka River and between the villages of Fenoarivo and Imerintsiatosika, 22 km (14 mi) southwest of Antananarivo along Route Nationale 1 (RN1) in the direction of Ampefy.[1][2][3] It functions as a lemur reserve that gradually reintroduces captive-born lemurs back into nature.[1][3][4] The park was founded by Laurent Amouric and Maxime Allorge, the grandson of Pierre Boiteau, Founding Director of the Tsimbazaza Zoo (Parc Botanique et Zoologique de Tsimbazaza) in Antananarivo.[1]

Attractions

[edit]
As of 2013, Lemurs' Park houses at least two species of cheirogaleid lemurs, which are small and nocturnal.
The park also has radiated tortoises and other reptiles.

The park, which primarily consists of pine forest and bamboo vegetation,[1] contains nearly 6,000 trees and more than 70 plant species endemic to Madagascar,[3][5] all of which are segregated into separate climatic zones throughout the park.[2] Lemurs' Park also has a vivarium which houses chameleons, radiated tortoises, iguanas and other lizards.[1][5][6]

The main attraction, for which the park is named, is its free-ranging lemurs. Featured daily feeding times occur every two hours between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.[2] There are nine species, seven of which are active during the day (diurnal) and two are active at night (nocturnal).[3][6] Many of the lemurs are confiscated pets, and the staff work towards rehabilitating them for reintroduction into the wild.[2]

Some of the lemurs found at Lemurs' Park as of 2013[1][3]
Common name Scientific name Conservation status Images

Conservation

[edit]

Confiscated pet lemurs are entrusted to Lemurs' Park by the Ministry of Water and Forests (Ministère des eaux et Forêts) for ex situ conservation. This allows the urban population near Antananarivo to see free-ranging lemurs in a natural environment.[14] In addition to rehabilitation, Lemurs' Park has also successfully bred Coquerel's sifakas (Propithecus coquereli) since 2007.[1]

Because many of these lemurs have become endangered as a result of deforestation in Madagascar,[3] Lemurs' Park participates in a reforestation program supported by Colas Madagascar and Total Madagascar. Between December 2008 and May 2013, approximately 37,163 students and 1,270 teachers from the public primary schools around Antananarivo have helped plant 170 native trees and participated in environmental education at Lemurs' Park. For many of the children, this program has allowed them to see free-ranging lemurs for the first time. In total, more than 11,000  trees have been planted as part of this collaborative project, including rosewood, Terminalia, and amontana as of May 2013.[14][15] Saplings of endemic plants, including baobabs, from the Madagascar spiny thickets in the southern part of the island have also been transported to the park and planted with the help of Colas.[15]

According to the park, the partnership with Colas Madagascar and TOTAL Madagascar has also helped prevent layoffs of its staff during difficult economic times, over 90% of whom come from the surrounding communities.[14][15]

Business details

[edit]

Lemurs' Park (Parc de lémuriens à Madagascar)[4] is open all year, seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.,[1][6] and the latest admission into the park is at 4:15 p.m.[6] As of March 2015, the admission price was 25,000 ariary for adults and 10,000 ariary for children ages 4–12, while admission for children under the age of 4 is free.[6] Entrance fees also cover a required tour with a park guide.[1][5] Stays are limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes.[6] The park provides standard amenities,[16] and has a restaurant that requires 48-hour advance booking. Between January and April, both the restaurant and gift shop are closed on Mondays.[1]

Visits to the park do not require advance booking, although reservations are required to take the park's minibus from the heart of Antananarivo (Analakely) to the facility. The cost of the shuttle includes the admission into the park.[1] The shuttle departs at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day.[1][2]

Lemurs' Park also has a liaison office in Antananarivo that is only open on Monday.[17]
