Stone Forest in Madagascar
A host of shapes made from limestone and resemble a dense forest stands west of Madagascar.
National Park Bemaraha , located in western Madagascar , was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. And the reason is 752 km ² of forest landscapes of this amazing stone madly known as Tsingy .
Malagasy "mitsingitsignia" which means "tiptoe", the term Tsingy has been accepted in common parlance to refer to the unique topography of the region. This topography of eroded limestone may exist in other areas of the world, but none as tall, slender and extensive as Tsingy structures.
Beneath this apparent hostility exist between the extraordinary world of forest canyons, humid caves and weathered stone mainly inhabited by different plants and animals living nearby.
