Madagascar prohibits the killing and selling of lemurs, including the ring-tailed lemur. The ring-tailed lemur is also protected in several national parks throughout its range. However, political instability has made laws harder to enforce and parks harder to protect. Madagascar's growing population requires more food and wood, while extreme poverty and hunger are on the rise, all of which results in increase destruction of its habitat and poaching. (The southern part of the island is more impoverished than any other part.) Additionally, conservation groups place greater emphasis on species-rich rainforests in the east, rather than the southern dry forests where the ring-tailed lemur is found.
