About Daraina Forest Reserve

Daraina Forest Reserve
 

Daraina Forest Reserve is located in the north-eastern part of Madagascar and serves as a vital habitat for numerous endemic species, including the critically endangered Golden-crowned sifaka. The forest reserve covers a diverse landscape that features dry deciduous forests, lush riverine forests, and patchy savannahs, providing a variety of habitats for wildlife. Historically, the forest has been under threat from logging and agricultural expansion, but conservation efforts are increasingly effective. The reserve offers a range of outdoor activities such as guided wildlife tours and hiking, allowing visitors to experience the stunning natural beauty and unique ecosystem. Scenic landscapes, rich biodiversity, and the opportunity to observe rare wildlife make Daraina Forest Reserve a compelling destination for ecotourists.
