=== Captive breeding ===

The conservation of this species has been aided by captive breeding, primarily at the [[Duke Lemur Center]] in [[Durham, North Carolina]]. This center has been influential in keeping, researching and breeding aye-ayes and other lemurs. They have sent multiple teams to capture lemurs in Madagascar and have since created captive breeding groups for their lemurs. Specifically, they were responsible for the first aye-aye born into captivity and studied how he and the other aye-aye infants born at the center develop through infancy. They have also revolutionized the understanding of the aye-aye diet.<ref name=Haring/>

Summary

The aye-aye, in summary, is a remarkable example of the diversity and richness of natural history; its remarkable physical traits and complex ecological role make it a living example of the many wonders that the natural world has to offer. As we learn more about this primate, we also get a greater appreciation for the intricacy and beauty of life on Earth.
