Madagascar

Madagascar sits in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa, geologically isolated long enough that roughly ninety percent of its wildlife exists nowhere else on Earth. The interior is a red-earthed plateau of rice terraces and zebu cattle, while the coasts shift between tropical rainforest, dry spiny forest, and white-sand shoreline.
