With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar ! P' n0 V# u& ^3 P$ e' c5 c
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
; A" v" X2 j/ s% n varid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
% A- p, L+ B4 \Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the 2 P; c l! F9 o9 k: A
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
5 {1 A2 ] s9 y' o' v% s9 o0 ~stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its + u* t, X$ Q# U* d
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
5 h1 q+ q/ F2 O6 n. O ^- Qsite was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world

continent of Africa more than 100 million years ago, and in 4 E: y! O* g1 }( h8 p
that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full

examples of endemism, which is common to island environments:
