Lexington Middle School welcomes Charlie Welch from the Durham Lemur Center of Duke University, to discuss conservation and Madagascar with our students. Charlie lived and worked in Madagascar for over 15 years. He has been involved with lemur reintroduction, and other conservation efforts in Madagascar. We used skype to visit with Charlie. The students listened to Charlie discuss his experiences with conservation, and then were able to ask him questions. Each class was able to participate in this session about Madagascar. Students will take the information they learned about Madagascar and conservation from Charlie and class activities to create a grant proposals. Students have been challenged to present 10 key facts about why conservation in Madagascar is important. They will present these facts as a grant proposals.
