Madagascar is not a national city, but the world's fourth-largest island in the western Indian Ocean. Its capital is Antananarivo, and the term "Amber Mountain" actually refers to the Mount Amber National Park in the north of the country. This 18,200-hectare protected area is famous for its tropical rainforests, volcanic lakes and waterfalls, and boasts unique biodiversity including lemurs and chameleons.
Mount Amber rises to a maximum height of 1,475 meters above sea level, creating a unique cloud forest ecosystem. Seventy-seven species of birds, 25 species of mammals and 59 species of reptiles have been recorded in the park, 75% of which are endemic. The famous amber deposits are located in the west, producing valuable amber with fossilized insects, which provide an important basis for paleontological research.
The region is a blend of indigenous Malagasy culture and colonial heritage, with French architecture preserved in neighboring towns such as Diego Suarez. Community development is promoted through eco-tourism, and visitors can experience both the natural and cultural charms of Madagascar through rainforest hiking, bird-watching, and visits to traditional villages.
