Conservation

Madagascar is one of the most biologically unique places on Earth because millions of years of isolation allowed extraordinary endemic species to evolve nowhere else in the world. About 90% of its wildlife is found only on the island, including iconic Ring-tailed Lemurs, colourful chameleons, rare baobab trees, and unusual predators like the fossa. These animals and plants adapted to Madagascar’s diverse rainforests, deserts, and mountains, creating ecosystems unlike any other. This remarkable biodiversity makes Madagascar a global hotspot for conservation and scientific study.
