Indri

1950 - 2022 CE

“One of the most endangered species of lemur on Madagascar and one of the most threatened primates in the world. The indri live by the coast, where forests have become so fragmented that they are almost too small to sustain viable populations. The main threat is slash-and-burn agriculture a practice that continues even in protected areas. If conservation efforts do not succeed the indri will almost certainly face extinction in the next 100 years.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO

  • Protect the Indri habitat in Madagascar which is being destroyed for agriculture and logging. Only buy FSC-certified paper products and lumber.
