Madagascar: A Country Full Of Breathtaking Nature | Somewhere On Earth

Madagascar is one of the worlds largest islands, red from the colour of the earth, and full of tropical life. We meet Elysee a botany student with a fascination for her country’s national tree: the baobab. Soloda is a vaso, which is a group of nomadic coastal inhabitants who lives in an isolated village on the Mozambique channel. And Gil, a Frenchman has lived on the island for over 20 years, and has made his home in the foothills of the mountains working on reforesting the valley where he lives.

Thank you! what a beautiful documentary. I love how many things you can learn about other people.

[@TRACKSTravelDocs]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 🌍✨

[@inchbyinch7759]

Ssssshhh keep this place away from the tourist industries please 🙏🏾.

[@imaginejl4]

Yeah, I believe its compulsory to have a guide in the national park there...a good idea for a lot of places, then perhaps a little tourism with a hefty levy towards preservation

[@cattymajiv]

I fully agree. I wish Canada would restrict access more. Overuse is killing our parks. If people want access so bad, let them pay. Especially the rich, in their $500,000 motorhomes. The poor can't even afford to get to the parks, so if they are able to make it there, they should be allowed in for free, but only subject to the same limits on visitorship.

[@ryanwuttke3422]

Keep it away from them? What are you gonna do, move it?

[@MagnoliaDavis]

@@ryanwuttke3422 There should be more people able to appreciate the natural beauty of Madagascar Entrance fee for visitors to augment income of the local Africans👍 Support Madagascar by encouraging movie producers to film there more 😃

[@Rustilida]

Yeah, I agree in a sense that there are very few places on Earth that has kept its authentic natural beauty without human activity. Only those who truly appreciate the environment and natural habitat should visit Madagascar

Should not remove the flower, too much waste for a tree that flowers only once in its lifetime.

This French guy is exceptionally helpful to the local Madagascar people, and I personally think that he is doing fantastic work, but it seems that the documentary is basically making him heroic and a safer of the day. If one wants to help and knows that the people are ignorant about certain things that will make their lifes better, teach them and keep going.

[@jarduanaodgvods]

The French guy wants to reforest the island with local trees but then also plants the deadliest of all trees as a new wood source.🤦‍♀ (Eucalyptus is a pest here in Europe. It has deep roots and needs huge amounts of water, thereby kills all the other plants around.) I hope at least they use the Eucalyptus for their antibacterial etc. stuff, too.

These baobabs must be a different species as those found on the African continent. They could also be related to the bottle tree found in Australia. All are most unusual as sometimes spectacular.
