The Black Lemur Camp Sifaka Circuit is an approximately 3.5km trek into habitats of the critically endangered Perrier's sifaka, or Propithecus perrieri, which can be found in the forest around Black Lemur Camp in north Madagascar.
About two thirds of the remaining individuals of Perrier's Sifaka in Madagascar live in the wild of the protected area above the camp. Eco-tourism plays in important role in the preservation of the species here. In collaboration with Fanamby, the camp provides important revenue that supports a tree nursery in the nearby village of Anjahakely which plants about 30,000 trees p/year including the type of trees endemic to Madagascar from which the lemurs feed.
The nocturnal Ankarana sportive lemur, or Lepilemur ankaranensis and Gerp's mouse lemur (Microcebus gerpi) can also be found in the same forest.
