	Madagascar - LoveToKnow 1911
		Madagascar may be considered as one of the headquarters of the Chamaeleonidae, for of the fifty known species no fewer than twenty-five have already been described from the island.
		The political history of Madagascar as a whole may be said to date from the reign of Radama I. He was a man much in advance of his age - shrewd, enterprising, and undeterred by difficulty - a kind of Peter the Great of his time.
		Ranavalona II., her predecessor and her successor were successively married to the prime minister, Rainilaiarivony, a man of great ability and sagacity, who, by his position as husband and chief adviser of the sovereign, became virtual ruler of the country.

	History of Madagascar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the central highlands of Madagascar, the Merina kingdom, a kingdom of rice farmers, had been living in relative isolation from the rest of Madagascar for several centuries, but by 1824 the Merina conquered nearly all of Madagascar thanks to the leadership of two shrewd kings, Andrianampoinimerina (circa 1745–1810) and his son Radama I (1792–1828).
		Ranavalona II In 1869, Queen Ranavalona II, who had been educated by the London Missionary Society, was baptized into the Anglican Episcopal Church and subsequently made that faith the official state religion of Madagascar.

		For the next three decades Madagascar, or the greater part of it, is ruled by a succession of three queens - Rasoherina (1863-8), her cousin Ranavalona II (1868-83), and Ranavalona's cousin Ranavalona III (1883-97).
		The prime minister continues the policy of welcoming back the Europeans (he and his second wife are baptized together soon after the start of her reign), but by the 1880s the European powers are in a new and aggressive mood of colonialism.
		Madagascar's foreign affairs are from now on to be looked after by France; there is to be a French resident at court; and the region around Diégo-Suarez is to be ceded to France as a useful naval base.

	Madagascar: Environmental Profile
		Eco-tourism may be the best hope for Madagascar to improve the standard of living for its people and indeed eco-tourism is growing in the country: according to the Bradt guide around 50 percent of visitors to Madagascar now visit a protected area when they come to the country (up from 20 percent in 1995).
		In Madagascar local communities benefit directly from eco-tourism through their 50 percent share of park entrance fees (such fees are divided equally between the national park service,ANGAP, and local communities), sales of handicrafts and "tourist items," and employment of porters, wildlife guides, park rangers, and workers in the service force of hotels, restaurants and lodges.
		Madagascar has become the focus of the international conservation community, and the government has adopted a progressive conservation policy in the last few years that has resulted in the creation of six new protected parks.
