We’ve brought the Duke Lemur Center to a screen near you—well, minus the unique lemur smells! Virtual programs are a wonderful way to learn about lemurs AND to support the DLC.
All virtual tour fees “give back” to the lemurs at the DLC, helping fund the Education Department and paying for lemur care, housing, veterinary supplies, and conservation initiatives. We’re so grateful for your interest and support!
Adopt a Lemur Program
Your symbolic adoption through our Adopt a Lemur program supports animal care at the DLC and our conservation programs in Madagascar! You or your chosen recipient will receive an adoption packet and quarterly emails for one year, including photos and educational updates about your adopted lemur who lives right here at the DLC. This is a wonderful way to learn about lemurs while also supporting our programs. $50-$100 per 12-month adoption period.
Virtual Painting Packages
Painting sessions are a fun and engaging enrichment activity for our lemurs, and they result in incredibly unique works of art! With a virtual painting package, you’ll receive a custom video of lemurs painting using colors you’ve specified to create your very own works of art! Each package will include a downloadable link to your tailor-made video, and a mailed package of your lemur artwork sent right to your home. This package also makes a fantastically unique and thoughtful gift for the lemur lover in your life! $200 per package.
