With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar s l. P# k( x$ m
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most - S/ |; l+ Q4 e9 P9 {7 c
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
0 s! K1 [4 X! P3 u) z" L& ABemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the ! C7 Q3 t, T$ K y f
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
9 u2 P& ?: f: }7 d5 h/ Gstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that - |, H4 s+ V3 O1 O! d
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human ( t5 h8 m- U, m+ c
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 9 }% i: S+ x0 v7 U1 m4 v
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 2 \7 ^: i; U' V5 i4 b
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world 9 M W% h) t- N8 v4 c$ D+ H
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the

examples of endemism, which is common to island environments:
