	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Madagascar spiny thickets (AT1311)
		While the island of Madagascar itself is famous for exceptional levels of endemic plants and animals, the spiny thicket is particularly outstanding with 95 percent of the plant species endemic to the ecoregion.
		One of seven ecoregions covering Madagascar, the spiny thicket ecoregion extends across southern and southwestern Madagascar with its northern border at the Mangoky River on the west coast and the western slopes of the Anosyennes Mountain chain in the southeast.

	Ecosystem Profile: Madagascar, Madagascar and Indian Ocean Islands
		This is perhaps the richest region in Madagascar in terms of species diversity, as shown by studies of vascular plants and terrestrial vertebrates, and it is also characterized by local centers of endemism (e.g., the Masoala peninsula, the Andringitra massif and the regions of Andasibe and Zahamena).
		The bulk of this ecoregion is characterized by a dry season of almost seven months and, along with the eastern lowland forests, should be considered among the most endangered forest ecosystems in Madagascar.
		In Madagascar, the extent of protected areas varies from one ecoregion to the next: 18% in the Eastern Ecoregion, 22% in the Central Ecoregion, 17% in the Western Ecoregion, 20% in the Northern Mountains Ecoregion, 5% in the Southern Ecoregion, and less than 1% in the Northern Transition Zone.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Madagascar ericoid thickets (AT1011)
		The fragile montane habitats of the ericoid thickets of Madagascar are naturally isolated zones which are threatened mostly by fire for cattle pasture.
		However, it is established that similar to other ecoregions on Madagascar there are a number of narrowly distributed endemic species and recent biological inventories of the ericoid thicket has located further endemic species.
		This ecoregion is buffered, to some extent, by the surrounding forests of lower altitudes.

	WWF - Madagascar Spiny Thicket - A Global Ecoregion
		This Global ecoregion is made up of these terrestrial ecoregions: Madagascar succulent woodlands; Madagascar spiny thickets.
		The Madagascar Spiny Thicket is such an unusual habitat that experts cannot agree on whether to call it a forest or a desert and hence call it a thicket.
		The ecoregion contains a large variety of spiny and succulent plants, including the songo be, which can reach up to 50 feet (15 meters), aloes, baobabs, and Euphorbia, which resembles links of sausage.

		This Global ecoregion is made up of these terrestrial ecoregions: Madagascar subhumid forests; Madagascar ericoid thickets; Madagascar lowland forests.
		The animals and plants in Madagascar's moist forests have had no contact with African species for millions of years, and have thus evolved on their own into unique, endemic, species found nowhere else on Earth.
		The principle threats to Madagascar's biodiversity come from the small-scale but widespread clearing of forests associated with slash-and-burn agriculture and secondarily for firewood collection.
