The San Juan Islands Group consists of 172 named islands of the more than 700 islands, islets and reefs identified at low tide and more than 400 at high tide. Additionally, the map shows the roads that connect the various communities and reach various points of interest on each of the four major islands.

Lemurs are prosimians, which are primates that were the evolutionary predecessor of monkeys and apes (simians). There are nearly sixty types of lemurs ranging in size from the tiny 30 gram Pygmy Mouse-lemur to the 10 kilogram Indri. All lemurs are endangered species, due mainly to habitat destruction (deforestation) and hunting.
