The biodiversity of Anjajavy<\/h2>\n

a treasure to discover and protect<\/p>\n

Inventories and observations of Anjajavy\u2019s flora and fauna show a high biological diversity with no less than 5 critically endangered, 14 endangered, and 13 vulnerable to extinction species. Most of these species are either endemic to Madagascar or\u00a0 the western coast.<\/p>\n

Each year, our naturalist visitors\u2019 observations \u2013 scientists or amateurs \u2013 unveil a significant number of new or undescribed species. Some of them, such as the rare explosive palm tree (Tahina spectabilis<\/em>), , has attracted a lot of attention from the scientific community. You can already discover all the species on Inaturalist<\/a><\/span>, our online inventory.<\/p>\n

Forest<\/h2>\nrare and precious<\/pee> <\/div>\n

Classified by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) among the global conservation priorities, the Anjajavy dry deciduous forest is home to a plethora of rare and endemic species of fauna and flora.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

Mangroves<\/h2>\nVital to the ecosystem<\/pee> <\/div>\n

The Anjajavy Protected Area is surrounded to the north and west by three large mangroves and their sinuous tidal channels. Hundreds of species of fish, shellfish, insects and birds rely on this habitat for food and shelter. These mangroves also actively contribute to carbon storage and sequestration. <\/pee> <\/div>\n

A land of Baobabs<\/h2>\nthe emblematic tree of Madagascar<\/pee> <\/div>\n

The Red Island boasts seven species of baobab trees, six of which are indigenous. In Anjajavy, you will find three species: the Grey (Adansonia madagascariensis<\/i>), the African (Adansonia digitata<\/i>) and the Fony (Adansonia rubrostipa<\/i>). The last one is endemic to the western coast of Madagascar and is easily identified by its red bark and distinctive bottle-shaped trunk.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

The Tsingy<\/h2>\nOr Limestone forests<\/pee> <\/div>\n

These wide areas of limestone and friable rocks formed millions of years ago when Madagascar separated from Africa. These rocks formations are also composed of fossilised shells, some of which may date back to the Jurassic period. Over the years, the rains and winds have carved the rocks into impressive karst pinnacles. It is even possible to see baobabs growing on these Tsingys while cruising on the Moramba Bay.<\/pee> <\/div>\n

A private marine reserve<\/h2>\nThe jewels of the natural heritage<\/pee> <\/div>\n

Anjajavy\u2019s peninsula is bordered by seven isolated creeks on 3,500 meters extending to the Mozambique Channel. Along the coast, a 400-meter long strip of sea is protected from fishing and hunting since the creation of the Anjajavy protected area. The biodiversity within this marine reserve including a wide variety of tropical fish benefits from the proximity of mangroves and forests. Every year, marine turtles come ashore to lay their eggs and nest a few weeks. The hatching of the eggs and the race to the sea by the baby turtles offer one of nature’s most unforgettable experiences. <\/pee> <\/div>\n
