Survey of Pet Lemurs in Madagascar
The purpose of this research study is to collect data from the general public about your experiences with pet lemurs in Madagascar. We are doing this study because over 28,000 lemurs may have been kept as pets in Madagascar since 2010. However, not a lot is known about why they are kept as pets. Since lemurs are some of the most endangered primates in the world, understanding why they are kept as pets is important for their conservation.
We would like to ask you to complete this web-based form at your convenience. This is a voluntary survey and the survey will increase our understanding of the ownership of pet lemurs in Madagascar.
We will not collect any information about you that could be used to identify you (e.g. your name). We will also not keep records of your computer’s IP address or information that could identify your location. You may, however, voluntarily provide us with your email address if you would like to receive updates about the research at the conclusion of the research project. The information you provide will be available only to the researchers undertaking this project.
