Abstract Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot with many species found nowhere else on the planet. The island hosts many different climates, ranging from dry forests and savannah to tropical rainforests. Much like the Galapagos Islands, the results of Madagascar’s unique evolutionary history are highly coveted among scientists and international aid organizations. Much effort has been put into conserving the island’s ecoregions, especially following its nonalignment with the Soviet Union. Aside from recent international interest for conservation in Madagascar, the country has had a functioning environmental protection program for more than a century. The Madagascar environmental program has been historically protective, either incidentally or directly,

  • National Parks in Madagascar
    NATIONAL PARKS IN MADAGASCAR Madagascar’s National Parks are divided into 4 parts: Deciduous Forest, Eastern Rain Forests, Island and Coastal and Spiny Forests and in total have about 28 National Parks across the island worth visiting DECIDUOUS FOREST 1. Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park Normally included as a short stop between Isalo and Tulear, the forest of Zombitse- Vohibasia is in a transition zone between dry deciduous and spiny forest habitats. Birders will appreciate seeing Appert’s greenbul, found nowhere else, giant, Coquerel’s and olive-capped couas, as well as various vanga species. 2. Andringitra National Park A spectacular and biodiverse reserve with an altitude range of 500 to 2,658 metres and mountainous outcrops of ancient Precambrian granite, waterfalls, lakes and unusual vegetation. Pic Boby, Madagascar’s second highest mountain, is a tough climb, but there are other less challenging trails through some magnificent scenery and habitats, including lowland forest, high humid tropical forest, sclerophyll and bamboo forest, bush and heathland. It has much endemic flora and over 100 species of birds, as well as over 50 mammal species including mountain-adapted ring tailed lemurs with thick coats. The climate ranges from humid tropical in the lowland rainforests to below freezing at altitude – indeed, it is the only place in Madagascar where snow has been recorded. 3. Ankarafantsika National Park ( Ampijoroa) This prime example of tropical dry deciduous forest, combined with a lake harbouring Nile crocodiles and endangered Madagascar fish eagles, contains many other rare, endemic birds including Van Dam’s vanga, sickle-billed vanga and red-capped coua.

  • Reptiles & Amphibians of Kirindy
    REPTILES & AMPHIBIANS OF KIRINDY KIRINDY FOREST is a dry deciduous forest covering about 12,000 ha and is managed by the Centre National de Formation, dʹEtudes et de Recherche en Environnement et Foresterie (CNFEREF). Dry deciduous forests are among the world’s most threatened ecosystems, and in Madagascar they have been reduced to 3 per cent of their original extent. Located in Central Menabe, Kirindy forms part of a conservation priority area and contains several locally endemic animal and plant species. Kirindy supports seven species of lemur and Madagascarʹs largest predator, the fossa. Kirindy’s plants are equally notable and include two species of baobab, as well as the Malagasy endemic hazomalany tree (Hazomalania voyroni). Ninety‐nine per cent of Madagascar’s known amphibians and 95% of Madagascar’s reptiles are endemic. Kirindy Forest has around 50 species of reptiles, including 7 species of chameleons and 11 species of snakes. This guide describes the common amphibians and reptiles that you are likely to see during your stay in Kirindy forest and gives some field notes to help towards their identification. The guide is specifically for use on TBA’s educational courses and not for commercial purposes. This guide would not have been possible without the photos and expertise of Marius Burger. Please note this guide is a work in progress. Further contributions of new photos, ids and descriptions to this guide are appreciated. This document was developed during Tropical Biology Association field courses in Kirindy. It was written by Rosie Trevelyan and designed by Brigid Barry, Bonnie Metherell and Monica Frisch.
