Uniting for Impact

For three decades, the nonprofit Madagascar Fauna and Flora Group (MFG) has achieved this mission through a membership-based collaboration of zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and related institutions. 

The MFG operates Parc Ivoloina and has a partnership with Madagascar National Parks to conduct conservation research in the Betampona Natural Reserve.

Duke Lemur Center and the MFG

The Duke Lemur Center is a founding member of the MFG and continues to support our programs as a Managing Member institution providing the highest level of support for our efforts and DLC Executive Director Greg Dye sits on the MFG Board of Directors.

​In addition, Duke Lemur Center provides great expertise to the MFG through their staff and great prosimian knowledge. Chief among them is Andrea Katz, who began her career at DLC in 1977 and recently retired from her role as Program Manager of their Madagascar Conservation Initiatives. A key figure on the MFG Board of Directors for years, she also served as Secretary. In addition, her husband, Charlie Welch, DLC Conservation Coordinator, also offers his great wisdom as an MFG advisor.

​Of course, this remarkable couple is better known to followers of the MFG for bringing the MFG into reality on the ground because they launched our efforts in Madagascar serving as the original Program Managers for the first 15 years. Their continued insights and guidance are truly invaluable.

Conservation Action

From participating in international efforts for endangered plants and animals to reintroducing lemurs, the MFG supports diverse strategies to conserve biodiversity.

With a team of nearly 100 staff on the ground, we both operate long-term efforts like reforestation as well as respond quickly to care for wildlife in need.

Student Success

The MFG Saturday School program provides supplemental instruction in mathematics, French, science, and environmental issues.

This help has enabled thousands of rural children to pass the exam to advance into secondary school.

And that gives a child hope and opportunities for a better life.
See Our Education Programs

Practical Research

The global need to better understand nature has consequences from addressing emerging health crises to containing invasive species that cost economies billions of dollars.  

Along with our own direct research, the MFG has staff expertise and existing infrastructure to assist numerous scientists in their diverse research efforts.
