Flagship Species
The Bezà-Mahafaly Special Reserve and the surrounding forests represent the different existing formations in Southwest Madagascar, composed of species adapted to drought. In terms of flora, the site is home to several widespread woody species typical of riparian forest in the dry bioclimatic region. In terms of fauna, there is a high density of diurnal lemur species that have been the subject of long-term studies at the site, such as the ring-tailed lemur or lemur catta, and the Verreaux’s sifaka.
