Taken by:
Peter Prokosch
The Madagascar Plover (Charadrius thoracicus) with its possibly less than 1000 individuals remaining belongs to vulnerable endemic species of Madagascar. One of its strongholds is Lake Tsimanampetsotsa. The Tsimanampetsotsa National Park with its salt lake and dry spiny forests comprises 430 km2 and has been protected already in 1927 due to its biological meaning (high endemism of species). The lake became because of its international importance the first Ramsar site of Madagascar.
