This fourth-largest island in the world has one of the highest rates of unique species on the planet: 90 percent of its reptiles, 80 percent of its plants, and 46 percent of its birds are found nowhere else on Earth." (EARTH OBSERVATORY) This article describes the diversity of plant and animal life on Madagascar and notes the dangers to these plants and animals as a result of the increasing human population on the island.
