"The 2020 Red List update highlights that 98% of all listed lemur species — 103 out of 107 listed — are now threatened with extinction and a further 33 species are listed as Critically Endangered, one listing away from extinction in the wild.
These updated assessments follow years of expeditions, surveys, and analysis by scientists across Madagascar. Two notable species — Verreaux’s sifaka and Madame Berthe’s Mouse Lemur — were previously considered Endangered. But now, they are among those newly listed as Critically Endangered. Both species have experienced serious declines due to loss of their forest habitat.

Only four of the assessed lemur species are not considered threatened with extinction, including three mouse lemurs and one dwarf lemur species. These are classified as either Data Deficient or Least Concern. The 2020 assessment also highlights the threats facing lemur species across Madagascar, including ongoing habitat loss and the pet lemur trade."..... (more)
