Black and White Ruffed Lemurs also known as Varecia Variegata, live on the island of Madagascar. They are most commonly found in the eastern rain-forests of the island.
The forested regions of Madagascar. And only the forest region due to the fact that Madagascar has different climates in certain parts, they can only live (in the wild) in Madagascar.
Black and white ruffed lemurs are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN.
Humans are the primary predator of ruffed lemurs. Juveniles may also be taken by hawks or eagles. The fossa is also a predator, but data suggests that wild ruffed lemurs avoid them by living at the very tops of the trees.

I am assuming you are referring to a black-and-white ruffed lemur, which is fairly common in zoos. Regardless, all animals in zoos are kept to educate the public, and especially in the case of lemurs, they act as insurance against extinction in the wild. In the wild, many lemur species are seed dispersers, thus benefiting the forests in which they live. All species are beneficial to their natural environment. The only time a species is harmful is when it's invasive (introduced and taking over).
