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.
