How can aye ayes be saved?

Answer 1

Aye-ayes are endangered due to habitat destruction/fragmentation. Also, many people in Madagascar will kill it if they see it because they believe it brings bad luck or death. More recently, some people have started killing aye-ayes for food (bush meat).

Answer 2

The aye-aye is protected from hunting and international trade, plus some of its habitat is protected as national parks. Conservation groups also work with the local people to educate them about the aye-aye and help dispel myths about it. There is a captive colony of aye-ayes in North America, and they are breeding successfully. Also, researchers study the aye-aye in its natural habitat in order to help devise conservation strategies for the species.

Answer 3

Maybe if we stop killing these animals it would help

Answer 4

Aye-ayes are the most bizarre primates on earth, and studying them teach us a lot about early primate evolution, as well as the evolution of lemurs.

Answer 5

Aye-ayes are a part of their ecosystem, as well as being a unique type of lemur that can tell us a lot about both lemur evolution and primate evolution.
