The Lin Lougheed Spiny Forest of Madagascar

The Lin Lougheed Spiny Forest of Madagascar features displays of dry forest plants from Madagascar. Because Madagascar was separated from mainland Africa millions of years ago, species there have evolved in isolation and represent an extraordinary array of unique and unusual plant and animal life, some of which are found nowhere else on the planet. This exhibit is a representative display of the variety of unusual and rare plants found in this threatened habitat, of which ninety five percent are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world. The Spiny Forest is one of the world’s most unique ecosystems, and our recreation of it in this exhibit highlights Fairchild’s conservation efforts and demonstrates a water-friendly landscape.
