Madagascar is often called the "eighth continent" due to its unique flora and fauna. Around 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth. The island is home to over 100 species of lemurs and hundreds of types of chameleons. Madagascar has over 12,000 plant species, with many endemic trees like the iconic baobabs. The island’s isolation has allowed ancient ecosystems to thrive for millions of years. Traditional Malagasy culture combines African, Asian, and European influences. Madagascar is one of the world’s top destinations for eco-tourism and biodiversity research. Its mix of wildlife, landscapes, and culture makes it an extraordinary natural treasure.
