Which island, located in the Indian Ocean, is famous for its lemurs, primates found nowhere else on the planet?

Madagascar

Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world, is a biodiversity sanctuary. Geographically isolated for millions of years, it hosts an exceptionally diverse and largely endemic fauna and flora. Lemurs, with over 100 different species and subspecies, symbolize the island's unique wildlife. Madagascar is also home to many other endemic species, such as the fossa and hundreds of bird species, contributing to its status as a biodiversity hotspot. However, this natural richness is threatened by deforestation, mining, and climate change, necessitating urgent conservation efforts.
