Analamerana
(or Analamera) is a hardly known and partly unexplored Special Reserve located 20 km southeast from the Amber Mountain National Park. Created in 1956, the Reserve stretches from the east coast until the Analamerana karstic plateau and comprises a surface of 347 km². The reserve is mainly covered by dense deciduous dry forest mixed with rocky formations up to 700 m in the western part. It is a very important water source for the agriculture in the surrounding areas since several rivers, as the Irondo in the north and the Loky in the south cross the plateau and flow into the rice paddies in the valleys.
