Parc Animalier de Sainte-Croix features ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) within the 'Neo's World' section, an area dedicated to raising awareness about global biodiversity. While specific details about the lemurs' acquisition and individual names are not publicly available, visitors can observe these social primates in an environment designed to reflect their natural habitat.
The park actively supports conservation efforts for lemurs in Madagascar by collaborating with organizations such as AEECL and Help Simus. These partnerships aim to protect lemur populations and their habitats. Additionally, the park works with the NGO Anne-Marie, Sœur du monde to support local communities, recognizing the importance of human involvement in conservation initiatives.
Visitors interested in a more immersive experience can participate in the 'Animal Keeper for a Day' program. This initiative offers hands-on activities, including preparing enrichment items for the lemurs, providing a deeper understanding of their behaviors and the challenges they face in the wild.
