Biological Diversity in Madagascar

Madagascar's biological diversity refers to its unique variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems, most of which are found nowhere else on Earth. Because the island has been isolated for millions of years, it has evolved many distinctive species, such as lemurs, chameleons, and baobab trees. This rich diversity is crucial for ecological health and offers scientific and economic value. However, habitat loss, deforestation, and climate change threaten these unique species, making conservation efforts vital to protect Madagascar’s exceptional natural heritage.
