948; iii, vi

The Rova of Tsinjoarivo, a collection of five wooden and rammed earth summer palaces built by Merina Queen Ranavalona I in 1834, offers a well-preserved example of traditional architectural norms among the Highland andriana (noble class). Several monarchs of the island lodged at the site, including Ranavalona I (1840, 1842, 1856), Ranavalona II (1880, 1882) and Ranavalona III (1890).

949; not provided

The south-west of Madagascar is inhabited by the Mahafaly people who farm and herd their zebu within the arid ecosystem of the spiny forests, a semi-desert landscape of endemic succulents which include all plants of the family Didiereaceae. The Mahafaly are famed for such funerary art as highly ornate stone tombs and carved wooden grave posts (aloalo), which have become emblematic of the island of Madagascar.

21°27′S 47°05′E﻿ / ﻿21.450°S 47.083°E﻿ / -21.450; 47.083﻿ (Isandra)

Haute Matsiatra

1997

950; iii, iv, v

The steep granite cliff of Isandra which rises abruptly from the surrounding rice fields is the product of differentiated erosion that has perforated the surface of the cliff with numerous caves. Some of these caverns were incorporated into a fortified village inhabited in the 17th and 18th centuries, while others were (and continue to be) utilized to entomb the dead.

951; iii, iv, v

Beginning in the 16th century, two granite outcroppings at Antongona were fortified with defensive trenches, stone walls and gateways to protect the royal wooden lodgings at their peaks. In the 1980s, the Ministry of Culture reconstructed two of the site's original wooden buildings and opened them to the public as a museum.

Anjanaharibe-Sud lies east of Marojejy National Park, one of six parks constituting the Rainforests of the Atsinanana World Heritage Site. Numerous endemic plant species are found in Anjanaharibe-Sud, and the forest corridor of Betaolana connects the park to Marojejy, ensuring the wildlife of both parks access to greater territorial range.

Les forêts sèches de l’Andrefana (Dry Forests of the Andrefana)

12°53′S 49°09′E﻿ / ﻿12.883°S 49.150°E﻿ / -12.883; 49.150﻿ (Dry Forests of the Andrefana)

The Dry Forests of the Andrefana comprise seven protected natural areas: Ankarana Reserve, Ankarafantsika National Park, Andohahela National Park (parcel II), Tsimanampetsotse National Park, Analamerana Reserve, Manambolomaty-Tsimembo and a new reserve planned near Daraina. In contrast with the Rainforests of the Antsinanana, the parks included in the Dry Forests of the Andrefana are each located within semi-arid ecoregions and feature an entirely distinct set of highly biodiverse and endemic wildlife.
