With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar

7 |* S& x3 }% l- F/ s; u4 NBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
) @ `) m( t7 g9 e( dresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its

site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world ( Z" d4 K4 e" L; P+ M0 K5 a

autonomy. This makes the island one of the most striking # ^3 V% {# u' y8 v# h
examples of endemism, which is common to island environments:
