Pirates & Privateers: The History Of Maritime Piracy - Pirate Havens Madagascar
The history of Maritime Piracy. Cindy Vallar, Editor Reviewer Perhaps themost famous pirate haven on madagascar was Libertalia.
http://www.cindyvallar.com/havens3.html

Extractions: By Cindy Vallar Madagascar lies 250 miles off the southeast coast of Africa and was close to two trading routes: the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Small bands of native peoples populated the island, but none lived in close proximity to each other, and some welcomed the pirates to their shores. The fact that no European power held the island also made Madagascar appealing to pirates because it lacked laws and religious morals. It also met the other criteria of a perfect haven because it had sheltered coves, abundant supplies of food and fresh waterincluding limes and oranges needed to prevent scurvyand beaches ideal for scraping barnacles from ships hulls. Madagascar became a particular favorite of pirates before the Golden Age of Piracy . French privateers, who preyed on ships sailing the Red Sea, first used it as a base of operations sometime before 1614. Later, the island attracted more pirates in part because plundering the Caribbean became less and less profitable. Voyages by Spanish galleons laden with treasure grew infrequent. Port Royal never regained its popularity with the pirates after the devastating earthquake that struck Jamaica in 1692. Tortuga became a quiet reputable port under French control. Peace finally came to Europe, so countries ceased to offer letters of marque permitting pirates to legally prey on enemy ships. Perhaps of more import to pirates was the fact that fewer countries tolerated piracy. More naval ships patrolled Caribbean waters with the express purpose of hunting down and prosecuting any who dared to attack ships at sea.

Extractions: Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook Back to Madagascar Climate Antananarivo receives practically all of its average annual 1.4 meters of rainfall between November and April. The dry season is pleasant and sunny, although somewhat chilly, especially in the mornings. Although frosts are rare in Antananarivo, they are common at higher elevations. During this time, the blue skies of the central highlands around Antananarivo are considered by many to be among the clearest and most beautiful in the world. The west coast is drier than either the east coast or the central highlands because the trade winds lose their humidity by the time they reach this region. The southwest and the extreme south are semidesert; as little as one-third of a meter of rain falls annually at Toliara. Overall, surface water is most abundant along the east coast and in the far north (with the exception of the area around Cap d'Ambre, which has relatively little surface water). Amounts diminish to the west and south, and the driest regions are in the extreme south. Madagascar suffers the impact of cyclones from time to time. From February 2-4, 1994, Madagascar was struck by Cyclone Geralda, the worst cyclone to come ashore on the island since 1927. The cyclone killed seventy people and destroyed enough property to leave approximately 500,000 homeless, including 30,000 in Antananarivo and 80,000 in Toamasina. The cyclone also significantly damaged the country's infrastructure, most notably coastal roads, railroads, and telecommunications, as well as agriculture. Damage has been estimated at US$45 million, and the

http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/frogs/museum/madagascar.php

Extractions: Washed-out roads, terrestrial leeches and days of rugged hiking can't deter AMNH researcher Chris Raxworthy from exploring the northern highlands of this California-sized island. More than 200 frog species live here, 99 percent of which exist only in Madagascar. Many new species are still being discovered. Collaborating with the University of Antananarivo, AMNH is working toward a comprehensive list of the frogs on the island. One survey technique uses pitfall traps to capture secretive ground-dwelling frogs. A few species can survive without intact forest. But most others, like the newly discovered narrow-mouthed toad, are declining in Madagascar due to habitat loss, primarily forest being cleared for subsistence farming.

Extractions: Madagascar is home to an amazing variety of cultures, due to its long history as a trading nexus and migratory destination for people from throughout Indonesia, Africa, and the Arabian peninsula. Today, the 18 clans that live in this island nation retain key elements of their heritage while also sharing a common Malagasy culture and languagegiving rise to the Malagasy phrase unity amongst diversity. Considered one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots, Madagascar's unique plants and animals are highly threatened.

Extractions: "Steven Goodman (a Field Museum biologist whose name is almost synonymous with natural history in Madagascar) and Jonathan Benstead (a postdoctoral researcher at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole) have tackled the task of compiling what we currently know about the island's environments, ecology, and biota. Working with some 300 contributors, 70 of whom are Malagasy researchers, they have produced a hefty volume comprising 14 chapters, with over 250 individually written sections and thousands of references, and running nearly 1800 pages. â¦ This compilation of data will be invaluable to both specialists in particular taxa and those with general interests in Madagascar. But more than anything, the volume highlights the importance of species as a focus for conservation. â¦ The country's new president, Marc Ravalomanana, has made a personal commitment to conserving Madagascar's unique (a word not used lightly) biological diversity. By dint of all its numbers, The Natural History of Madagascar makes the case for what we need to save."
