The Lemur Conservation Foundation is offering a 7 month internship from July 1st, 2014 to January 15, 2014 in primate husbandry. LCF’s internship offers an exceptional opportunity to receive training at an AZA certified-related institution, with a strong commitment to conservation, education, and animal care. The Primate Husbandry Intern will be trained in these high standards of care, including training in proper cleaning, exhibit maintenance, positive reinforcement training, enrichment, diet preparation, capture and restraint, basic medical care, record keeping, and daily monitoring of behavior and heath. 

The Lemur Conservation Foundation (LCF) is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of lemurs through captive breeding, non-invasive scientific research, education, and reintroduction. 
LCF sits on a 100-acre, non-public, reserve in Myakka City, Florida.  The reserve is currently home to six species of lemurs in both semi-free ranging habitats and traditional indoor/outdoor habitats. The reserve is remotely located; however a variety of culture and entertainment including state parks, beaches, art museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens and theaters can be found nearby in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Tampa.
