Hello Colin Morgan fans! Most of you probably know that Colin Morgan’s favorite animal is the lemur. (x) I am an undergraduate student studying anthropology and I am particularly interesting in nonhuman primates. I also love Colin Morgan.

I am doing fieldwork at the linked lemur reserve, and I had an idea for a great thank you present that we can group together to give Colin. I am thinking that it would be really nice if we came together to adopt a lemur. We would be sending a $1000 (US DOLLARS!) donation to the Lemur Conservation Foundation in order to provide food, housing, and medical care to one of the lemurs at the Myakka City Reserve in Florida (where I do field work). He seems to really care about animals, the environment, and such, and I think this a gift he would truly appreciate. I would send him a letter with all of the contributors names, the documents and pictures of the adopted lemur, and whatever else we come up with. 

$1000 is obviously a lot more money than I can afford to give to any cause, but I know Colin has a loyal fanbase on here, and I’m hoping I can find 50-100 people that would be willing to work together to make this happen. So… here I am… trying to see if this might be possible. 

If you would be willing to participate, shoot me an email at lemurcols@gmail.com and I’ll put you on the list. If I get enough interest to make this affordable, I will contact everyone that emails me and we will set up plans for how to do the donations. I hope that you all are as into this as I am. I am extremely excited about doing something for him that I believe he will truly appreciate. :)

REBLOG THIS! HELP GET THE WORD OUT! I THINK THIS COULD BE GREAT!

AND DON’T FORGET TO EMAIL ME AT LEMURCOLS@GMAIL.COM SO I CAN PUT YOU ON MY LIST OF POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTORS!

That’s obviously not a lemur… but I can never get enough of Colin with animals.
