Journey Into The Unexplored Land of Namoroka

Описание: This story follows an international team of 22 scientists on a challenging journey into Namoroka National Park in northwest Madagascar. The park is a remarkable sanctuary defined by its jagged limestone cliffs, known as "tsingi," a geographical wonder that protects a world of biodiversity. This exploration takes the team deep into a terra incognita, a place where many biological secrets remain locked away. Botanists push into unexplored canyons to understand how life can thrive in such a harsh, dry, and extreme environment, eventually finding the legendary Tabernet Montana Calcarea Dari plant, a species considered lost since 1940. The mission reveals a beautiful and highly unique natural world but concludes with a sobering look at the urgent threats the park faces, especially from annual fires, making the work of these explorers critical for preservation.
