Ranomafana National Park is a protected area in southeastern Madagascar, established in 1991. The park encompasses approximately 41,600 hectares of tropical rainforest and is part of the Rainforests of the Atsinanana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This region is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 500 to 1,500 meters, and is dissected by numerous streams and rivers. The park is renowned for its high biodiversity, including a significant population of the endangered golden bamboo lemur, as well as the greater bamboo lemur and the Milne-Edwards' sifaka. Over 12 species of lemur are documented within the park boundaries. The flora is exceptionally diverse, featuring numerous endemic orchids, palms, and medicinal plants. The park's name, Ranomafana, translates to "hot water" in the Malagasy language, a reference to the hot springs found in the area. It serves as a critical center for scientific research and conservation efforts, playing a vital role in protecting Madagascar's unique ecosystems.
