Madagascar has been isolated from the African landmass for approximately 165 million years and its flora and fauna evolved in isolation from that time onwards. The island is one of the world's most biologically diverse areas, and is internationally renowned as a wildlife tourism and ecotourism destination, focusing on lemurs, birds, and orchids. More than half of the island's breeding birds are endemic.

Madagascar has two official languages, first is French and second Malagasy. It is the fourth largest island in the world. Having developed in isolation, the island nation is famed for its unique wildlife.
