Madagascar has approx. 30 million inhabitants and with the size of 592.796 km2 it is one of the world’s largest islands. It is situated by the east coast of Mozambik in the Indian Ocean.

Madagascar is well known for its unique fauna and flora, as many plants and animal species can only be found on the island. Unfortunatly this nature is in danger. Through increase in population  and thus diminishing habitat, more and more species are endangered.
