494 MG - Andrefana Dry Forests (1990)

 This serial property in western Madagascar comprises karstic landscapes and limestone uplands cut into impressive 'tsingy' peaks and a 'forest' of limestone needles, the spectacular canyon of the Manambolo river, rolling hills and high peaks. Undisturbed forests, lakes and mangrove swamps are the habitat for rare and endangered lemurs and birds. The component parts of the property cover almost the full range of ecological and evolutionary variation within the western forests of Madagascar, including western dry forests and southwestern spiny forest-thicket. These sites contain a spectacular array of endemic and threatened biodiversity, including baobabs, flame trees (Delonix), as well as unique evolutionary lineages such as the Mesitornithiformes, an order of birds which is 54 million years old.

安德列发那干旱森林

安德列发那干旱森林是黥基·德·贝马拉哈自然保护区世界遗产的系列扩展，新增区域包括5个保护区。这些新的组成部分几乎代表了马达加斯加西部森林从北到南的全部生态类型和进化过程，包括西部干旱森林和西南部多刺森林-灌丛。新增区域对生物保护极为重要，因为这里生活着大量受威胁的特有物种，如猴面包树、凤凰木，以及一些当地特有物种，如有着5400万年历史的拟鹑目鸟类（Mesitornithiformes）。
