With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar & G3 ]+ X$ v9 y$ o$ S8 M" R
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most & |! o+ t3 R& H/ Z
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
; Q9 V! m4 [- T' ~' lBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the ' Z4 C6 [; B: a) S

site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world 9 p8 y: c' ?8 Y
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the 1 `7 @4 e8 p) j; J0 W- J1 D
continent of Africa more than 100 million years ago, and in 7 W, |& |# l% o A- d
that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full / b. @. u; _1 r7 L
