Hunting Stone Forest Di Madagascar

Beautiful And Hunting Stone Forest in Madagascar | We have heard about forest, but have you wonder about the stone forest?. This is a extraordinary forest. Enclosed by 752square kms of incredibly scenery, the Bemaraha National Park, situated in the west of Madagascar, was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, and is home to the truly amazing stone forest known as the Tsingy.
From the Malagasy word “mitsingitsignia”, which means ‘to walk on tiptoe’, the term has been accepted in common language to denote the exceptional topography of eroded limestone, which may exist in other parts of the world, but nowhere as tall, slender and extensive as the spires here. An extraordinary world of forest canyons, humid caves and unique fauna and flora thriving in close proximity to one another.
Because of local conditions, the erosion is patterned vertically as well as horizontally. In several regions on western Madagascar, centering on this National Park and adjacent Nature Reserve, the superposition of vertical and horizontal erosion patterns has created dramatic “forests” of limestone needles.
