The project addresses the critical issue of lemur commercial trade in and around Makira Natural Park, where endemic, endangered species face severe threats due to high hunting pressure, habitat loss, and poverty- driven consumption and trade. By building on lessons from previous initiatives, we will map trade routes, identify key actors, and assess species-specific threats. Engaging local communities, we aim to develop crime prevention strategies and promote sustainable livelihoods, ultimately protecting endangered lemurs while addressing the socio-economic drivers of wildlife trade.
