Lemur Kingdom was a captivating reality TV show that premiered on Animal Planet in 2007. The show was hosted by Franklin Ojeda Smith, an American actor best known for his role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, who acted as a guide to the world of lemurs. The show aimed to offer viewers an insight into the daily lives of these animals and their habitat, without interfering with their natural rhythm.

The show revolved around the lives of lemurs, particularly Flame and Stella, two ring-tailed lemurs. The show was filmed entirely on location in the island nation of Madagascar, the natural habitat where lemurs thrive. Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot, and the viewers got to experience the beauty and diversity of its flora and fauna from the safety of their living rooms.

Lemur Kingdom did not use a scripted story; instead, the show relied on natural occurrences and events that occurred during filming activities. The show's main goal was to create awareness among the viewers about the many issues facing the lemur population in Madagascar, including habitat loss, deforestation, and hunting for bushmeat.

Throughout the series, we got to experience the adventures of Flame and Stella, and their everyday activities in the forest. We got to see how they interacted with each other and their family, and with other animals of the forest. The show's cinematography was top-notch, capturing the beauty of the lemurs and their surroundings beautifully.

The show also featured scientists who were studying lemurs and their habitats. These scientists provided insights into the profound bond between humans and lemurs, and how humans could help protect these endangered primates.

One of the most significant episodes of the show was when Franklin and Flame participated in a conservation program aiming to re-introduce lemurs into the wild. This episode not only highlighted the work that goes into conservation in the field, but it also showcased the importance of reintroducing lemurs to areas where they had previously been driven to extinction.

Lemur Kingdom was unique in its way of educating its viewers about the impacts of humankind on natural habitats and wildlife. It never shied away from the harsh realities of lemur populations in Madagascar, making it a must-watch show for anyone interested in learning about environmental concerns.

In conclusion, Lemur Kingdom was a fascinating, educational, and entertaining TV show that left viewers in awe of the beauty of the lemur population in Madagascar. The show succeeded in its aim of creating awareness about the lemur population and the importance of conservation efforts to save these animals.
