* '''Fauna species'''
** ''Eulemur fulvus rufus'' - [[Red-fronted lemur]], threatend by hunting** ''Erymnochelis madagascariensis'' - [[Madagascar big-headed turtle]], endangered species** ''Brookesia perarmata'' - [[Antsingy leaf chameleon]], local endemic species threatened by collecting** ''Uroplatus henkeli'' - [[Henkel's leaf-tailed gecko]], threatened by collecting
* '''Habitats'''
** dense dry forest on limestone plateau: Highly fragmented forest formation; tpyical vegetation on karst (very fragile); natural habitat of many wildlife species** water system: The water system that drains the Antsingy has positive impacts on the ecological balance of the region, but currently there is a slight decrease in water regime
Note: Plant species are not to be considered as conservation targets in their own right, as it is better to manage forest habitats to conserve plant species rather than to manage them individually.
