Megan Shrum - Co-Creator

Megan Shrum has a BSc in Zoology from North Carolina State University and an MSc in Primate Conservation from Oxford Brookes University.  Her love of lemurs came from her experiences volunteering and working at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, NC.  Megan travelled to remote areas in Northwest Madagascar within the range of the mongoose lemur in order to better determine the distribution and conservation status of the species.  She is devoted to the region and planning conservation education programs and more research in the area to better understand all of the lemurs in the new Mahavavy-Kinkony Wetland Complex, where the last remaining tract of mongoose lemur habitat is found.
