Madagascar
Madagascar is a less popular covered subject in most geography textbooks, so I have set out on an internet, and encyclopedia journey in hopes of learning more about the publicity deprived section of Africa. In my research I have found coverage on: Madagascar's geographic location, commodities and crops, agricultural, attributes, popular religious practices, and native languages spoken throughout the area. Throughout the repot I will touch on each topic, in hope of gaining more knowledge and insight. To start I will give a brief background of Madagascar followed by an in-depth look into Madagascar's important facts. Madagascar is Formerly an independent kingdom, Madagascar became a French colony in 1896, but regained its independence in 1960. During 1992-93, free presidential and National Assembly elections were held, ending 17 years of single-party rule. In 1997, in the second presidential race, Didier RATSIRAKA, the leader during the 1970s and 1980s, was returned to the presidency. The 2001 presidential election was contested between the followers of Didier RATSIRAKA and Marc RAVALOMANANA, nearly causing secession of half of the country. In April 2002, the High Constitutional Court announced RAVALOMANANA the winner.
Madagascar's import partners are:France 31. The life expectancy for Madagascar is rather low, for males it is 54 years, for females it is 58 years, the spread of aids is relatively low in comparison to other African nations, weighing in at 1. Some of the current agricultural issues include: soil erosion results from deforestation and overgrazing; desertification; surface water contaminated with raw sewage and other organic wastes; several species of flora and fauna unique to the island are endangered. I don't think it is adamant that cultural geography boos add a lesson in Madagascar studies. There are 0 migrants/1000 population. The nationality is Malagasy, the ethnic groups are many: Malayo-Indonesiam. Madagascar's Elevation extremes go as the following: Lowest point = the Indian ocean at 0 meters.
