Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park is a national park in the Atsimo-Andrefana region of south-west Madagascar. The park was established in 1997 and is divided into three forested sections, on gently undulating sandstone hills. In 2001, Bird Life International assessed avifauna of ninety species of which thirty-eight species are exclusively endemic.

Geography

The park is in the Atsimo-Andrefana region and covers the forests of Zombitse, Vohibasia and Isoky-Vohimena on gently undulating sandstone hills. The Isalo massif and Isalo National Park is {{convert|90|km}} to the east and runs in a north-south direction, and an {{convert|820|m}} high calcareous plateau to the west, runs in a similar north-south direction.[1] It is {{convert|147|km}} north-east of the town of Toliara, the site of the nearest airport, and the Welcome Office is at Sakaraha {{convert|10|km}} from the park entrance.[2][3]

The local Bara people and Mahafaly people are the main ethnic groups in the area.[2]

Flora and fauna

Ninety species of birds are known from the park, including thirty-eight endemic species. The park meets the Birdlife International criteria as an Important Bird Area. One species Appert's tetraka (also known as Appert's greenbul (Xanthomixis apperti) is classified with a conservation status of vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

Eight species of lemur are recorded; Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) is an endangered species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, as is the Pale fork-marked lemur (Phaner pallescens).[1]
