Cotswold Wildlife Park has achieved breeding success with one of the most endangered Lemurs in Madagascar - the Greater Bamboo Lemur. Births in captivity are extremely rare. In fact, the Park is the only zoological collection in the UK and one of two worldwide to have bred the species this year. They are classified as “Critically Endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and with only 36 animals in captivity globally, every breeding success of this rare primate is important. Only seven other zoological collections in the world keep Greater Bamboo Lemurs. With a population of 11, the Park is home to the biggest breeding group in the world.
