| AEECL
The Association Européenne pour l’Etude et la Conservation des Lémuriens (AEECL) is a consortium of
European
Zoological Gardens
and Universities, who have joined forces to carry out conservation and research projects for
Madagascar
’s highly endangered lemurs.
The non-govermental organisation was founded by the Zoological Gardens of Mulhouse,
Cologne
and Saarbrücken and the
University
of
Strasbourg, and is based in
Mulhouse,
France
. Today we have member institutions from all over
Europe
.
| As one of our priorities, AEECL has been working on the creation of a reserve for the blue-eyed black lemur (Eulemur macaco flavifrons), one of
Madagascar
’s rarest lemur species, since a number of years. The charming lemur with its blue eyes is also the logo of the consortium. The member zoos have furthermore initiated captive propagation programmes for the blue-eyed black lemur as well as for the crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus) and the red-bellied lemur (Eulemur rubriventer) within the framework of the EAZA. |
