World Lemur Day Rummage Sale

Join the American Association of Zoo Keepers San Francisco (AAZKSF) in celebrating World Lemur Day at the first annual “World Lemur Day Rummage Sale.” Our AAZKSF chapter will be co-hosting this fantastic event along with our very own lemur specialist and our neighbors at the Pomeroy Center on Sunday, October 23rd from 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. in the Pomeroy Banquet Hall.
Proceeds from our rummage sale will benefit the conservation organization Lemur Love whose mission is to "protect lemurs, empower women, and further science." Our vision for this event is to uphold our sustainability initiative by reusing and recycling unwanted items, support our local community with reasonably priced second-hand treasures, fundraise for lemurs, and assist in building local capacity for future conservation in Madagascar.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Yesterday was International Sloth Day in which we highlighted the importance of sloth conservation while celebrating the many benefits of sloooooowing down. Sloths move so slowly because they eat only leaves and this type of diet doesn’t provide much energy. Moving slowly through the forests saves energy and helps them to hide from their predators, like jaguars and harpy eagles, though humans are now the most dangerous threat. Roads, power lines, dogs, deforestation and poaching are all major problems for sloths in the wild. You can help to spread awareness by talking about sloths with your friends and family, hosting your own fundraiser for sloth conservation, or reducing your impact on the environment by eating less meat and using less plastic.
