A pair of lemurs sitting on the ground at the zoo. Although local traditions generally help protect lemurs and their forests, illegal logging, widespread poverty, and political instability hinder and undermine conservation efforts. Because of these threats and their declining numbers, the International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN considers lemurs to be the world`s most endangered mammals, noting thatââ¬âas of 2013ââ¬âup to 90% of all lemur species face extinction within the next 20 to 25 years. |
