Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. It is located about 400 km off the south-eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Madagascar as an island is a combination of plateaus, coastal plains and beaches. The tropical rainforests of Madagascar lie in the low-elevation, due to which sometimes it is also called the ‘lowland rainforest’. This rainforest has dense tree canopies in it. The average rainfall is recorded about 200 cm annually in the north-western region. Madagascar has about 250,000 species of animals and 12,000 species of plants. Ring-tailed lemurs, African sunset moths, coloured lizards, etc. are some of them. One of the most famous plants is the baobab tree.
