Examining the Success of Ex-Situ Breeding of Lemur Catta in UK Zoos and Wildlife Parks

Ex-situ conservation of the critically endangered ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is becoming increasingly important (Schwitzer et al., 2013b). This study will examine the success rate of previous breeding efforts in UK zoos and determine improvements, contributing to conservation of this unique species and improving their welfare within the captive environment.
