Madagascar

Madagascar is an island country located off the southeast coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. It is the fourth largest island in the world, after Greenland, New Guinea, and Borneo. The country’s unique biodiversity is notable, as it is home to many species of plants and animals that are not found anywhere else on Earth, often referred to as endemic species. Madagascar’s diverse ecosystems range from rainforests to deserts, contributing to its rich natural heritage. The island’s culture is equally distinct, shaped by a blend of influences from Africa, Asia, and Europe, reflecting its complex history of migration and trade. Antananarivo is the capital and largest city of Madagascar.
