The largest area of mangroves in Eastern Africa is found in Madagascar. This area contains 332,000 hectares of mangroves, meaning it covers 3,000 to 4,000 square kilometers of land. Mangrove forests range along the Tsiribihina River, which is one of the largest waterways in the country. This region is between the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species of trees, shrubs, or ground ferns that are more than a half-meter high make up the mangrove forests. Rainfall ranges from 750 to 1500 millimeters per year. Unfortunately, the mangroves have started dwindling.Leah Falcon
