Il Parco Nazionale Ankarana Est

La riserva si estende per circa 18.000 ettari, ubicato circa 30 km a Nord di Ambilobe e 150 km a sud di Diego Suarez.

È caratterizzata dalla presenza del massiccio dell’Ankarana, un complesso di pinnacoli rocciosi calcarei, denominati tsingy, soggetti a fenomeni di erosione da parte di una ricca rete di corsi d’acqua, in gran parte a decorso sotterraneo, che hanno dato vita ad un intricato sistema di caverne e grotte.

La riserva ospita 11 differenti specie di lemuri tra cui il microcebo di Sambirano (Microcebus sambiranensis) e il microcebo rosso settentrionale (Microcebus tavaratra), le cui uniche popolazioni note si trovano nel terrirorio della riserva, e inoltre il lemure di Sanford (Eulemur sanfordi), il lemure coronato (Eulemur coronatus), l’apalemure grigio (Hapalemur griseus), il microcebo murino (Microcebus murinus), il chirogaleo medio (Cheirogaleus medius), il valuvi forcifero (Phaner furcifer), il licanoto lanoso (Avahi laniger), il lepilemure settentrionale (Lepilemur septentrionalis) e l’aye aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis).

Altri mammiferi presenti sono il fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox), la mangusta dalla coda ad anelli (Galidia elegans), il tenrec.

Numerose le specie di pipistrelli che popolano le caverne, tra cui la “volpe volante” (Pteropus rufus), e uccelli.

Le grotte del massiccio servirono da rifugio alla popolazione Antakarana, etnia locale, contro il tentativo di unificazione Merina di Radama I (1810-1828)
