Madagascar's Tsingy de Bemaraha:

An integral reserve

The "Tsingys" are a so-called Karst landscape. Geologically, this is the name given to areas that have both above-ground and underground structures. The nature reserve consists of needle-shaped rock formations that rise majestically several hundred meters into the air. The plateaus are partly wooded, but very dry. However, since the precipitation rate here is about 1000mm per year, the canyons of the Tsingys are very humid, so that in the lower areas. Lakes and mangroves have formed. Wind and rain here in the west of the island have a particularly rough terrain created, which makes settlement impossible. Only on the edge of the reserve there are some villages. The terrain is extremely rich in gorges, caves and rivers, so that it could hardly be explored until today. Even the locals avoid large parts of the Tsingys, which due to their bizarre shapes are associated with numerous myths and legends are occupied. The northern part of the area is an over 85,000 hectare integral reserve. Thus, tourists are not allowed to enter this area. It is characterized mainly by rolling hills of limestone, unlike other parts of the Tsingys. In the gorges, lakes and mangrove swamps of the untouched integral reserve are 85% the Flora and Fauna endemic. 47% are not even found in other areas of Madagascar.

FOR MADAGASCAR

After 10 months of total inactivity, self-employed people in the tourism industry in Madagascar are completely without income. There is no opening of the borders in sight in Madagascar and we are at the beginning of the rainy season, which is the low season, even in normal times. I have started a fundraiser for the guides and drivers I know well. From this money we will buy rice and other essentials and distribute them regularly, if possible, until the resumption of travel activities in April 2021 at the earliest. My special thanks to those who have already donated. I will start buying rice tomorrow and will begin distributing it this week.
