Madagascar
Madagascar (; mg, Madagasikara, ), officially the Republic of Madagascar ( mg, Repoblikan'i Madagasikara, links=no, ; french: République de Madagascar), is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately off the coast of East Africa across the Mozambique Channel. At Madagascar is the world's second-largest island country, after Indonesia. The nation is home to around 30 million inhabitants and consists of the island of Madagascar (the fourth-largest island in the world), along with numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from the Indian subcontinent around 90 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. Consequently, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of its wildlife is endemic. Human settlement of Madagascar occurred during or before the mid first millennium AD by Austronesian peoples, presumably arriving on outrigger cano ...

Roads In Madagascar
Madagascar's network of about 4500 roads spans approximately and is focused on facilitating transportation to and from Antananarivo. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Long-distance travel is often accomplished in ('bush taxis'), which may be shared by 20 or more people. While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Program has classified two-thirds of the roads as poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near to a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education. Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, the government of Madagascar requir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
