Tsingy Bemaraha
National Park
Botanist Nick Leaver talks about a scientific expedition to one of the worldtasks most remote and biodiverse nature reserves.
Botany may not be regarded by many as the most exciting of careers, but I can honestly say that I have never found it anything but enthralling. I have had the great fortune to travel virtually the entire world for my job looking for plant species A) which may prove useful to the pharmaceutical industry. Last year, my research took me to Madagascar, one of the most beautiful and fascinating countries I have ever had the good fortune to visit.
Madagascar is an island about the size of France off the south-east coast of Africa. It is a biologisttasks dream B) because It Is home to more than a quarter of a million species. What Is more, an estimated 80% of these are found nowhere else on Earth.
With such a tremendous collection of species under its care, the Madagascar government has set aside about fifty areas of special interest as national parks. One of the most beautiful Is the Tsingy Bemaraha National Park, C) which Is located In the northwest of the island Tsingy consists of deciduous forests and mangrove swamps sitting on towering, jagged limestone rocks. Below ground, there is an enormous network of caves, rivers and streams. There are bird, reptile, lemur and frog species in the park D) which are not found anywhere else on the island.
The aye-aye, the worldtasks largest nocturnal primate, lives there too. It has a very odd appearance - luminous, beady eyes and a very long middle finger on both its hands.
It was in this truly incredible wildlife habitat that I gathered the majority of my plant samples. Getting to many of the plants in Tsingy can be a struggle because of the terrain. You have to be prepared to climb and scramble over this wonderful rocky landscape. The plants cling precariously to the sharp peaks and towering cliffs. I hose on the tops of the rocks have had to adapt to extreme conditions - burning heat and long periods of drought - so they do not have leaves, but instead are covered in thorns E) which help them limit their water loss.
To date, we botanists have counted roughly 650 plant species in Tsingy. Most of these have not been investigated, but research in laboratories, like the one I work In, will hopefully discover If any are of medicinal value. I have high hopes. Madagascar is home to the Rosy Periwinkle, F) which Is used to treat some cancers and also diabetes. I suspect there are many more Madagascar plants with potential disease-curing properties.
b) Compare with your partner. Listen and check. Then translate the first two paragraphs of the text into Russian.
