With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar ) z; @0 i* Z# s6 b+ C
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 9 L2 l0 @3 k6 ~/ |/ {- z
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of - Z o) _& r h
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the * Z( Q) I) H# x ^' G# z* d
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
9 B5 \; z7 l7 T0 o4 C: D. w3 S( jstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

6 a6 \" d ~1 w* N4 b6 s8 apenetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ) E* t1 t- ]# y( g
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The U/ Y u1 Y( T+ K& F( |" U2 A
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world 7 g3 `* a% H! X5 m }8 K
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the $ v/ A( ^6 O+ }7 I' Y- M
continent of Africa more than 100 million years ago, and in ( a; Y0 r. z" ] D+ x8 i, G
that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full
