Madagascar

Discover essential information about Madagascar

Madagascar is the world's fourth-largest island, located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Mozambique. Having been isolated from the African mainland for about 88 million years, it has evolved a staggering array of unique wildlife—over 90% of its plants and animals are found nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs, chameleons, baobab trees, and orchids are among its most celebrated natural treasures.
