Over the course of the past decade, there has been an enormous
augmentation in the amount of information available on the lemurs
of Madagascar. These advances are closely coupled with an increase
in the number of national and international researchers working on
these animals. As a result, Madagascar has emerged as one of the
principal sites of primatological studies in the world.
Furthermore, the conserva tion community has a massive interest in
the preservation of the natural habitats of the island, and lemurs
serve as one of the symbols of this cause. Between 10 and 14 August
1998, the XVIIth International Primatology Society (IPS) Congress
was held in Antananarivo, Madagascar. For a country that about a
decade ago was largely closed to foreign visitors, this Congress
constituted a massive event for the Malagasy scientific community
and was assisted by about 550 primatolo gists from 35 different
countries. Naturally, given the venue and context of the Con gress,
many of the presentations dealt with lemurs and covered a very wide
breadth of subjects."
