Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, is called a "mini continent" because its wildlife, including all lemurs and six endemic baobab species, has evolved in isolation. This unique variety of life exists alongside a complicated human situation that includes deep structural poverty, political instability that has lasted for a long time, and ongoing security problems for travelers.
