Welcome to 100 LEMURS, an international collaboration between the Duke Lemur Center, a world leader in the study, care, and conservation of lemurs, and Rachel Hudson, an award-winning wildlife illustrator based in the UK. Rachel will illustrate and post one lemur species every day for 100 consecutive days, partnered with text written by Duke Lemur Center researchers and education staff.
To read the full text descriptions paired with each illustration, please visit the 100 LEMURS homepage.
We hope you’ll follow along and discover lemurs’ incredible diversity, and why lemurs — the most endangered group of mammals on Earth — are so special, and so urgently in need of our protection.
