Lemurs are the most endangered animals in the world, with 98% threatened with extinction. However, they also live in direct connection to people and their domestic animals. This situation creates a complex system of interactions that needs to be considered for effective conservation outcomes that benefit lemurs but also the people who live in connection with them. My talk will present applied research on lemur conservation using an interdisciplinary One Health approach.
