Madagascar is truly “the treasure island”, the paradise for naturalists. The uniqueness of its fauna and flora amazed all nature lovers as they are found nowhere else in the world, its biodiversity has evolved in isolation for more than 80 million years. Every type of vegetation holds a fascinating wildlife which has differences from rainforest to dry deciduous forest, from grassland to spiny forest. 16 % of the world primates are in Madagascar; this is because of the high endemism of its astonishing wildlife.
