---

Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, located in the Atsimo-Andrefana Region of southwestern Madagascar, is an important protected area that preserves one of the island’s last remaining dry deciduous forests.

The park lies in a unique transition zone between Madagascar’s western woodlands and southern spiny forests, creating a rich and diverse ecosystem. The park is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, including several species found nowhere else on Earth. It is home to numerous lemurs, rare birds, reptiles, and endemic plants, and is recognized as an important refuge for wildlife in a region where natural forests have largely disappeared.

Composed of the forests of Zombitse, Vohibasia, and Isoky-Vohimena, the park features dry forests, savannas, and unique plant communities adapted to the semi-arid climate. Its rich wildlife, scenic landscapes, and conservation importance make Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park one of Madagascar’s most valuable natural treasures.
