With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar . b$ s# z6 |' s- i- ?# ~* y
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
& d! r6 o' r, d; w% w. N; \arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of & M% P. U7 |; u4 z, q+ Q
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
]" F" `8 R8 s+ P5 R5 Z+ Zresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the . w: H5 L3 L7 F
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that ' O# Y6 \- g9 d( s
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 8 D5 ^5 g$ F0 s
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 0 l! Y; R! r* v: T& L% `, U
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 4 c5 T u4 A& S
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world " @& f: n4 M+ a, [7 Q I
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the 1 X9 ?2 f5 X; ?, g; D
continent of Africa more than 100 million years ago, and in 7 R- r \0 v# O! {( A. T5 N
that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full

examples of endemism, which is common to island environments:
