These ancient forests are very important for maintaining the ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar's unique biodiversity. This reflects the geological history of the island: due to its separation from other land masses over 60 million years ago, Madagascar is home to flora and fauna that evolved in isolation. Listed for their importance for both ecological and biological processes, humid forests are also listed for their biodiversity and the endangered species they harbor, especially for primates and lemurs.
