Madagascar is called the Red Island, a name which evokes the dramatic erosion of its red soil pouring down the rivers into the sea. The erosion and tavy, the devastating practice of slash-and-burn agriculture, are the main threats to the unique biodiversity of the island and its development. Filled with natural riches that do not exist anywhere else, Madagascar's biodiversity is under threat.
With Hanitra, a Malagasy artist, as our guide, this documentary takes us to the world of lemurs and baobabs. Remarkable images unveil the beauty of the landscape. Malagasy music punctuates the images, highlighting their rich cultural heritage; and the lyrics are woven in to the story, a true musical testimony of Madagascar's ecological awareness.
