Madagascar has a very rich fauna and flora and many species are endemic, meaning they live and grow only on this island. Due to slash and burn, more and more forests disappear and therefore many species face extinction.
A Malagasy proverb says ''Tsy misy ala, tsy misy rano, tsy misy vary.'' - without the foresr, there will be no more water, without water, there will be no more rice.
