Madagascar Island, located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, is the fourth largest island in the world. Its long isolation from neighbouring continents allowed the evolution of distinct communities of plants and animals. It is home to five percent of the world’s plant and animal species, 80 percent of which are endemic to Madagascar. Some biogeographers refer to the island as the “eighth continent”, in recognition of its uniqueness and diversity.
The Muskwa Ranges are a group of mountain ranges in northern British Columbia, Canada. Encompassing a series of plains and mountains, including portions of the Mackenzie River plain and Caribou mountains, the Muskwa-Slave lake boreal forests experience cool summers and very cold winters characterized by low precipitation. The resulting habitats, which are forests dominated by spruce and fir trees, support one of North America’s most diverse and intact large mammal systems.
