Beverly’s Adventures in Magical Madagascar
by Beverly Houwing
I put off visiting Madagascar for a long time, which I can’t even figure out the reason for. I think I kept visiting other countries on the African continent and didn’t venture farther east to this enormous island off the coast of Mozambique. Madagascar is a place that evolved completely separately from the rest of the mainland which it detached from millions of years ago. The species on the island are found nowhere else in the world and are quite remarkable. Impressive baobabs still form groves in a few places, but the lack of trees surrounding them show the devastating effects of cutting the natural forests.
