The weekend begins with the history and work of the Duke Lemur Center, presented by Greg Dye, DLC Executive Director, and a dinner featuring Malagsy cuisine on Lemur Landing. On Saturday, Dr. Erin Ehmke will discuss how lemurs are studied and cared for at the center, including tours of the center’s extensive indoor and outdoor research facilities. In the afternoon Charlie Welch, Conservation Coordinator, will share more on the SAVA conversation project, its importance to the region and how Duke is making a positive impact for both the lemurs and people of the SAVA region. On Sunday, you will get an up-close look at how lemurs live at the center on a guided tour through the center’s natural habitat enclosures where lemurs are free to roam and greet you. Back by popular demand, participants will have the opportunity to shadow a DLC technician through their morning routine of feeding and overseeing the care of the lemurs.

We invite you to come spend a weekend exploring what is perhaps the most unique facility at Duke! Make your reservations soon, as this is one of the Alumni Association’s most popular Forever Learning Programs.

The Duke Lemur Center is the world’s largest sanctuary for rare and endangered

prosimian primates. Established in 1966, the Lemur Center has been dedicated to studying and saving lemurs through conservation, research and education for more than 40 years. The center is nestled on 85 acres in Duke Forest, but the impact of its work extends all over the world. Housing nearly 250 lemurs, the largest population outside of the lemurs’ natural habitat of Madagascar, the Duke Lemur Center offers an opportunity not only to see these amazing animals firsthand but to learn directly from the experts working to protect them.

Forever Learning.Forever Duke.
