He subsequently studied feeding behavior and seasonal fur changes in two ringtailed troops affected by leucaena-caused Bald Lemur Syndrome. He then became Forest Manager at Berenty, responsible for removing invasive sisal and cissus. He is currently studying for his PhD on grey and red-and-grey mouselemur ecology and behavior, supervised by Fabien Génin.
