Abstract
Madagascar is located in the Indian Ocean, off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is the fourth-largest island and covers 581,240 square kilometres. Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot. The combination of southeastern trade winds and northwestern monsoons produces a hot rainy season and a relatively cooler dry season. It had a population of 21.3 million and domestic production the gross (GDP) of USD 9.9 billion in 2011. Through the evaluation of global environment competitiveness, we can know that the environment competitiveness index of Madagascar ranks at 119 among 133 countries.
