Двонеделна програма за заштита на дивиот свет во Мадагаскар


Madagascar is a rich and colourful country, it was one of the last major landmasses on Earth to be colonized by humans. The island has undergone different evolutionary processes due to a cataclysmic earthquake which separated Madagascar from Africa and allowed for many life forms to change little if at all over the course of millions of years. The first settlers found plentiful resources of food, almost no predators and an abundance of wildlife when they first arrived on the island. Even though many species have disappeared since, the dense rainforests are still home to over 100 exotic species of animals which are unique to Madagascar including lemurs, dwarf hippos, giant tortoises, ten-feet tall elephant birds and many more.

Settlers from Indonesia, Arab and Persian traders and migrants from Africa arrived at different times and although they lived in tribes, they avoided segregation. Their coexistence and fusion have produced a beautiful and remarkably uniform society which is a unique synthesis of race, language, religion, and traditions.
