Flagship Species
The Ivohibe massif is a southern part of the Andringitra chain. The Reserve belongs to the ecoregion of the center and the ecoregion of the east. It is representative of the humid dense forests of low and medium altitude. The flora that we find there includes typical elements of the dense humid evergreen forest, as well as species restricted to the high plateaus of the Southeast and local endemics. As for the fauna, the reserve shelters a great biological richness even if no locally endemic species have been recorded there: 8 species of lemurs whose distribution is relatively restricted to the South-East (e.g.: Propithecus edwardsi, Avahi peyrierasi).
