Madagasikal (Madagasikara) was formally known as Madagascar (Repoblikan'i Madagasikara), formerly known as the Indian Ocean, Madagascar Republic, the coastal island country of East Africa. The country includes Madagascar (the fourth largest island in the world) and many smaller surrounding islands. Following the prehistoric division of Gondwana across the continent, Madagascar separated from the Indian peninsula about 88 million years ago, allowing conventional animals and plants to evolve in isolation. Therefore, Madagascar is a biodiversity hot spot and over 90% of wild animals can not be seen anywhere else on the earth. The diverse ecosystems of the island and unique wildlife are threatened by rapidly increasing population erosion and other environmental threats

Madagascar's long-term isolation from neighboring continents has resulted in a unique combination of flora and fauna. Many of them can not be seen anywhere in the world. This has allowed some ecologists to call Madagascar "the eighth continent". Of the 10,000 plants native to Madagascar, 90% can not be seen anywhere in the world. As for all kinds of animals and plants in Madagascar, since one third of natural vegetation disappeared from the 1970s, since more than 90% of its original forest has been lost since the arrival of mankind 2000 years ago, It is being threatened. Most lemurs are classified as endangered or endangered species
