Lemurs Headed to Private Island

摘要

In the next few weeks, Richard Branson, the billionaire entrepreneur and adventurer, plans to move some 30 ring-tailed lemurs from zoos to a 125-hectare Caribbean island. "It's much nicer for the animals to be free and not in a zoo situation," he says. Lemurs live only on Madagascar, where they are severely threatened by deforestation and hunting.
