Education

Public education is the key to ensure lasting changes in the name of conservation.

Conservation

Conservation is the act of protecting species and their habitats to promote biodiversity and prevent extinction.

Scientific Discovery

We believe in a strict code of non-invasive research that contributes to our knowledge of the unique primate group, Prosimians.

About Our Foundation

The Louisiana Lemur Foundation officially became a non-profit organization in 2017. The idea to create LLF began in early 2016 with two zookeepers, Tina Aust and Jessica Meyer, who both have a strong passion for lemurs and wanted to put it to good use! Tina and Jessica expanded their partnership to include Jamie Marks, Melissa Passman and Samantha Zarin fellow zookeepers and lemur enthusiasts. This team has worked nonstop to lay the foundation for what LLF stands for: conservation, education, and scientific discovery.
