The Madagascar Primate Research Group (GERP) is a leading scientific organization dedicated to the study and conservation of Madagascar’s lemurs and their habitats. Their work combines rigorous research with practical conservation actions to protect some of the world’s most endangered primates.

GERP’s programs encompass multiple areas including: scientific research on lemur ecology and behavior; habitat protection and restoration; community-based conservation initiatives; and environmental education. They work closely with local communities to develop conservation strategies that protect both lemurs and critical forest habitats while supporting sustainable livelihoods.

The organization has made significant contributions to lemur conservation, conducting vital research that has informed protection strategies, establishing new protected areas, and implementing successful community conservation programs. Their work has helped protect numerous lemur species and their habitats while building local capacity for long-term conservation management.
