Madagascar's largest protected area protecting pristine rainforest and marine ecosystems on the Masoala Peninsula

Masoala National Park

Masoala National Park is the largest protected area in Madagascar, encompassing approximately 2,400 square kilometers of diverse habitats on the Masoala Peninsula in the island's northeastern region. Established in 1997, the park spans primarily through Sava Region with a portion in Ambatosoa, situated between the coastal towns of Maroantsetra and Antalaha. The park protects an exceptional variety of ecosystems including tropical rainforest, coastal forest, flooded forest, marsh, and mangrove, alongside three marine parks that safeguard coral reefs and marine life along the peninsula's coastline. This extraordinary diversity stems from the peninsula's large size and the wide range of habitats it contains, making it one of Madagascar's most ecologically significant protected areas. In 2007, Masoala was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana, recognizing its global importance in representing the biodiversity of Madagascar's eastern rainforest ecosystems.
