Savingspecies.org

We are collaborating with Savingspecies.org to raise funds to save Prolemur simus and reforest a corridor to connect remnant populations of this critically endangered primate to Ranomafana National Park.
New Residence Hall

We are currently raising funds for a new "green" residence hall (including climate-controlled laboratory space, and technological infrastructure) on the Centre ValBio Research Station campus. Naming options are available for this cutting-edge building.
