Madagascar – Island of Extremes

Overview

Madagascar: Just off the coast of Mozambique, this island is considered one of the most fascinating in the world – and quite rightly so. For the fourth-largest island on the planet is a unique cultural melting pot and, above all, a true treasure trove of nature. However, the country ranks among the poorest in the world. Its resulting overexploitation of natural resources is taking a toll on the island, much like climate change.
