Tolagnaro The region of Fort Dauphin (known as Tolagnaro in Malagasy) is home to several nature preserves, including Andohahela National Park, Nahampoana private reserve, Saiadi private gardens and Berenty private reserve. The area is home to three different ecosystems: the southern spiny succulent forest, the wet rainforest, and between them a transitional forest, each harboring different populations of lemurs (ring-tailed lemurs, Verreaux's sifaka, Microcebus and even aye-aye). Most notable among the flora is the endemic trihedral palm (Neodypsis decarii). Birds include the Madagascar hoopoe, the crested drongo, the crested coua, Verreaux's coua, the Madagascar coucal, and the white-faced whistling duck. Nearby Anony lake hosts a myriad of birds including flamingoes. |
