This is the area with the highest level of plant endemism in Madagascar, with 48% of the genera and 95% of the species endemic. [2] Many constituent plants show extreme adaptations to drought. Spiny plants of the endemic subfamily Didiereoideae form a conspicuous component, especially towards the east.
The Madagascar lowland forests or Madagascar humid forests [2] are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion found on the eastern coast of the island of Madagascar, home to a plant and animal mix that is 80 to 90% endemic, with the forests of the eastern plain being a particularly important location of this endemism.

Madagascar lost 44% of its original forest between 1953 and 2014. [12] The central highlands are the most densely populated region of Madagascar, and includes the country's capital and largest city, Antananarivo. The highlands' population is growing. Madagascar's high plateau forests have been altered by humans in most places.
