is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
+ ~& \. C7 ~* k2 parid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of % \; W+ Y1 h4 e, ?
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
( O- i+ Y B8 D/ D1 u# X* U/ Vresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the . z1 n( m' R6 r
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ) e- T, d# H) n. t+ @; R A: y
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The : f) Z: g" j! E
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full
