Madagascar is home to a biodiversity that is unique in the world.
The flora and fauna of Madagascar are of incomparable richness. It is considered by all scientists as a nature sanctuary and the birthplace of endemic species of the island. Indeed, you will find unique worldwide species with near 7 varieties of baobabs, 19 000 plant species and fauna of more than 100 000 species. This exceptional originality is notably due to its location that is isolated in the middle of the Indian ocean. It is therefore a high color trip waiting for you !
The variety of biotopes and climates (the most arid of the cloud forest, saturated moisture), on a globally oriented North-South Island, with gradient altitude associated with the mountain range itself globally oriented North-South for part explains the variety of species. But the exceptional endemic biodiversity of the island is unique due to the fact that Madagascar is separated from the continent African there are about 100 million years ; The isolation of the island, the lack of large predators, has contributed to the original evolution of the species.

Biodiversity, Flora and fauna of Madagascar
The Malagasy fauna is remarkable, estimated to be one hundred thousand different species. The most remarkable animals are lemurs, birds, reptiles and whales. But we forget to discover different insects, butterflies, amphibians, fish and the famous and mysterious “Fossa” (small carnivore of the West).
Because of its isolated location in the middle of the Indian Ocean during a little more than 100 million years, Madagascar has developed a flora and fauna quite different from all those around the world. That's why Malagasy flora and fauna have the highest rate of endemicity of the world.
This peculiarity resulted in Madagascar to be distinguished as being a "sanctuary of nature or a naturalists paradise.". Scientists ranked him as a 'mega-biodiversity', which simply means that almost all plant and animal species remaining in Madagascar are rare resources which deserve protection and self-esteem of all the planet.
There are also very many exceptional sites to visit the region of Boeny/Majunga with a very high endemicity (Circus Red, Lake of Mangatsa, Caves of Anjohibe, Antsanitia, Mariarano, The Tsingy of Namoroka national park, The Bay of Baly national park, Mahavavy-Kinkony complex, Katsepy-Antrema, Bay beaches, Ankarafantsika national park, descent of the Betsiboka River, caves of Belobaka, Antanimalandy, Lake Kinkony, …).
