$1000 Stretch Goal - let's make the False Fruit and Tangled Tree even better!

We smashed our initial $1000 funding target today (hooray!) and still have 25 days left to crowdfund. Therefore, we have introduced a $1000 stretch goal, meaning we will now strive to raise at least another $1000 in the time we have left. 

Additional funds will enhance the project significantly. Our initial budget was really conservative, so the best way for us to spend an additional $100 is to bolster the design, construction and implementation of our two cognitive tasks, the 'False Fruit' and 'Tangled Tree'. We more we raise, the more we can bolster. If we achieve a considerable increase in funding, we would like to add an additional aspect to the research project, but the two cognitive devices must be taken care of first.

Thank you for your support so far!

About This Project

Lemurs are in Trouble. They are the world’s most endangered vertebrates, and attempts to reintroduce captive-raised lemurs to the wild may be necessary within a decade. We will investigate whether lemurs born and raised in zoos have essential skills needed to survive in the wild by extracting food from a novel ‘False Fruit’ and navigating a complex 3D maze we call the ‘Tangled Tree’. Boot camp is tough and there’s no cheating allowed - they will receive no help or training on the tasks!
