%X L¡¯AEECL, Association Europ¨¦enne pour l¡¯Etude et la Conservation des L¨¦muriens, est un consortium de parcs zoologiques et d¡¯universit¨¦s europ¨¦ennes mettant en commun leurs connaissances et leurs efforts en faveur de projets de recherche et de protection des l¨¦muriens menac¨¦s d¡¯extinction de Madagascar depuis plus de trente ans. Pour ce faire, l¡¯AEECL m¨¨ne ou finance des ¨¦tudes afin d¡¯am¨¦liorer les connaissances scientifiques concernant les l¨¦muriens. Ces informations sont indispensables pour mettre en place les mesures concr¨¨tes adapt¨¦es pour prot¨¦ger ces animaux. Ses travaux ont notamment aid¨¦ ¨¤ la reconnaissance de la p¨¦ninsule de Sahamalaza en tant que r¨¦serve de biosph¨¨re de l¡¯UNESCO, en 2001 et ¨¤ la cr¨¦ation du parc national Sahamalaza-Iles Radama, en 2007, principal site de recherches men¨¦es par l¡¯association. De plus l¡¯AEECL met un point d¡¯honneur ¨¤ impliquer la population locale. Des associations communautaires locales ont ¨¦t¨¦ cr¨¦¨¦es dans les villages de quatre communes. Elles ont le pouvoir de g¨¦rer les ressources naturelles de leur juridiction de fa on durable. The European Association for the Study and Conservation of Lemurs (Association Europ¨¦enne pour l¡¯Etude et la Conservation des L¨¦muriens, AEECL) is a consortium of European zoological gardens and universities who have joined forces to carry out conservation and research projects for Madagascar¡¯s highly endangered lemurs since more than 30 years. AEECL implements or finances various different research projects to improve the scientific knowledge of lemurs. Information is essential to be able to develop comprehensive conservation and management plans to protect these animals. The work of AEECL has led to the implementation of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Sahamalaza in 2001 and to the creation of the Sahamalaza-Iles Radama National Park in 2007. In addition to the research, AEECL is carrying out a community-based natural resource management plan in Sahamalaza. The Association has helped create local community associations in the villages of the four communes in the periphery of the protected area. Responsibility for the sustainable management of the natural resources is gradually handed over to the local communities.
