Maki Day of Celebration/World Lemur Day at San Francisco Zoo & Gardens

On October 14th, a 21-year old ring-tailed lemur “Maki” was abducted from his home at the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens. Thanks to good community citizens and top-rate police work, Maki was returned to his home within 48 hours. In the spirit of seeking a positive outcome from a bad situation, we hope to use Maki’s experience to shine a light on the devastating environmental crisis facing his home country of Madagascar. Lemurs like Maki are only found on Madagascar, an island nation which is one of the Earth’s greatest biodiversity hotspots. Thousands of species of plants and animals are native ONLY to Madagascar, and nearly half of them are faced with extinction in our lifetime, due to climate change, deforestation, and irresponsible agriculture. With your help, San Francisco Zoo and Gardens intends to build the world’s largest Madagascar-specific Zoo exhibit to house these highly endangered species and to teach the world about the importance of this fragile and unique ecosystem. Within a year’s time, you may be able to visit the exotic wildlife of Madagascar, and of course, Maki and his lemur companions right here at San Francisco Zoo & Gardens!
