UNESCO WHS Serie - Title: Rainforests of the Atsinanana Subtitle: Parc National d’Andringitra - Andringitra National Park Description: The Rainforests of the Atsinanana comprise 6 national parks. These relict forests are critically important for maintaining ongoing ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar’s unique biodiversity. Madagascar’s plant and animal life evolved in isolation since more than 60 million years. Having completed its separation from all other land masses more than 60 million years ago, Madagascar’s plant and animal life evolved in isolation. Many species are threatened especially primates and lemurs. The Andringitra National Park area is 316 km2 covering much of the granite massif of the Andringitra mountains which rise above plains. The park is one of the most biologically diverse places in Madagascar, with many endemic species.
