Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, salt lake, South-West Madagascar

Year: 2011 Taken by: Peter Prokosch
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. Salt-tollerant Salicornia vegetation is found on the shallows of the salt lake.
