National Parks
Madagascar is particularly spoiled by nature.this fascinating island in the Indian Ocean is known worldwide for its absolutely incredible wealth of its biodiversity. The flora and fauna in Madagascar has a very high endemic rate of over 80% in terms of animal species, and even over 90% of flora is found only here. Compared to the rest of the world, Madagascar is indeed a condensate of biodiversity due to its extraordinary and impressive mega-diversity. Madagascar is so rich in species that many have not even been discovered. The potential is huge, but the maintenance of the daily disappearing ecosystem caused by overexploitation, deforestation, fire, precious wood, poachers and demographic pressures on the environment are very likely to make species disappear forever before they could even be discovered.Unfortunately, diversity in Madagascar is in mortal danger. Every year, about 200,000 Ha disappear due to deforestation and especially bushfires.
Social and economic pressures, along with galloping demographics, growing poverty and mismanagement, are a huge problem for Madagascar's natural resources.
What can be saved must be saved, and protected areas are indispensable. The mission of the National Parks, Special Reserves, Protected Areas, Private Reserves and Intergral Reserves are explained in detail in the attached articles.
Madagascar National Parks face this emergency and their mission is multidisciplinary. In fact, the conservation and management of natural resources today are largely subordinated as a tributary to the various political wills. For the emergence of strong and sustainable ecotourism, the involvement of local people is very important. Biodiversity management and policy should align their strategy with the conservation and development of protected areas.
It would be high time!
