Lemurs, the small primates with bushy tails and large, expressive eyes, are among the world's most endangered species. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List, of the 112 species of lemur, more than 90% are threatened with extinction. Habitat loss, illegal logging and hunting are among the principal threats in their native Madagascar. But there is a new danger—they are being served up on the dinner plates of affluent city dwellers.
