Lemurs - “Creators of the Forests”.LR9A1018-2

Lemurs play a huge role in maintaining forest diversity, structure and dynamics through the movement of seeds? Some lemur species play a significant role in their ecosystem by being seed dispersers. They aid in the process of moving seeds and/or pollen from one area to another. Ruffed lemurs, like the black and white ruffed lemur, is a prime example of a lemur species that acts as a key seed disperser. Located 250 miles off the east coast of Africa is the island of Madagascar, the 4th largest island in the world, and the only habitat for all wild lemurs in the world.
