Kapany Lemurs Project

This project aims to determine the taxonomic status of the Kapany lemurs, which present an intermediate morphology beetwen Eulemur macaco (the black lemur) and Eulemur flavifrons (the black blue-eyed lemur). This will help to enable the red-listing of this potentially threatened lemur taxon by the IUCN.
