Madagascar

Honduras is located in Central America, between the two countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua. You may find it pretty easy to fund Honduras on a map because its about the same size of Tennessee. The exact location of

Environmental issues exist in Madagascar because of the problems that our society composes. Worst of all, Madagascar continues to face an economic depression and as well as losing the land that animals use to roam freely. Many countries around the world depend on the island’s significant natural resources. Sadly with a blink of an eye, the beauty of the island disappears without anyone taking charge. Karin Brulliard exposes the problems in Madagascar with a statement throughout her narration:

The authors goals in the book as stated in the book Made in Madagascar (Walsh, 2012, p. 103) “is to offer a distinctive perspective on the global systems and processes that shape so much of the world”. The author achieves his goal by breaking down the world within Madagascar by going in depth of the different industries such as sapphire mining and trade and ecotourism. Furthermore, Walsh explains his explains the evaluation of Madagascar from being a small island with a small population to a much larger population mainly due to the mining of Sapphires to the population decreasing once the area was over mined and the prospectors left the island due to lack of opportunity. The author clearly describes in the book that the ecosystem is unlike any in the world and how it was on the verge of being destroyed by people looking for opportunity by extracting the areas sapphires and other natural resources (Walsh, 2012, p. 3).

Too much power leads to corruption. Many people will tell you that. As such, it is one of

Harrigan (2008) argues that this country is in need of food aid, “Food insecurity in turn can further deepen poverty, not just in terms of negative nutritional effects on health and livelihoods but through the use of coping mechanisms,” (p. 2). The author sustains their argument by the method of providing various strategies on how to provide aid to Malawians, as well as discussing the extremely low GDP of $160 per person (Harrigan p.4) and statistical information about agricultural production within the country (Harrigan p. 16). This article greatly contributes to my group’s theme, as we are analyzing food insecurity within impoverished places. This article allows us to obtain statistical data as well as research possible coping methods for individuals facing food

It is located off the southeastern coast of Africa. The most amazing thing about Madagascar is out of the 200,000 living species there, 80% of them do not exist anywhere else in the world (CITE). Also, being an island it has a coastal perimeter with the interior of the island being a forested plateau, allowing for a variety of different wildlife . It truly is a beautiful place. However, on the negative aspect of Madagascar’s environment, close to 80% of the forests have been cut down (CITE). Because of the destruction of the forests, the natural soil of the riverbed is eroding resulting in the loss of 400 tons of topsoil a year (CITE). Rice farmers in Madagascar cut and burn down local vegetation to plant rice, which is part of the problem, because after a year or two the nutrients in the ground are completely depleted. Every year fires are set for clearing the land also resulting in about 1/3 of the entire island burning (CITE?). This not only destroys the plants but also disrupts the animals’ environment. Mining for minerals and oil causes destruction of the environment as

They have a low export and import percentage. All of the economic problems result from the failure of the

The Rainforests of the Atsinanana is a place like no other. The continent of Madagascar can be found 200 miles off the east coast of Africa and completed full separation from all other land masses more than 60 million years ago (Staff W., 2001). The island of Madagascar has lived in isolation and with isolation gives the Rainforests of Atsinanana an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. This unique place is made up of six national parks and was approved by UNESCO committee in New Zealand (WWF, n.d.). The Rainforests of Atsinanana is currently on the list of world heritage sites in

In fact, the situation in those countries is relatively complicated and not easy to assess. Several aspects contribute to the destructive conditions in the sub-Saharan region. Basically, poor education systems, insufficient infrastructure and inadequate healthcare services are at the top of the list. Each of these aspects will be separately analyzed in the following paragraphs.

When I visited the WHO’s global health observatory website, I chose to look at the health burdens and statistics for Madagascar. This specific country I have heard about because of the movie Madagascar but other than that I do not know much about the health of the population and the health care of this specific country. In Madagascar there

When people think about Madagascar, images of beautiful, lush green rainforest, warm, sandy beaches along crystal-clear water and exotic animals come to mind. Madagascar is a large island that is located in the Indian Ocean, just off the southeastern coast of Africa. According to Africa Diversity and Development, the population in 2009 was nineteen point five million people, many of which living on less than two dollars a day (Binns, 2011). This landmass is home to an extraordinary variety of animals including Flat-Tailed Geckos, Comet Moths, Panther Chameleons and Tomato Frogs. Many of the animals found in Madagascar cannot be found anywhere else on this planet. Unfortunately, environmental problems are negatively impacting the wildlife. Conservationist are forced to work extra hard to help stop the destruction and save the

It seems more difficult to change the regime. This is the source of corruption. When one class of society strives to better themselves and succeed in doing so, it causes corruption.

Moreover, the population of the country is young (the 50% has 21 years or less) well educated and hard-working and accept low wages.

The eradication of poverty remains as one of the greatest challenges that humanity faces. Poverty takes many faces such as hunger and malnutrition, limited access to basic services, social discrimination and exclusion in decision making within the community. While the number of people who live in extreme poverty have dropped by a large amount there are still those who are still living on less than US$1.25 a day. Belmonte is a prime example of such conditions of poverty, with its citizens being dependent on subsistence farming and a majority of individuals living on less than one dollar a day. Through this paper we propose an action plan to create substantial economic growth using multiple tools such as diversified and increased crop production, commercial farming, solar electricity, and piped water lines to name a few. Through these tools and many more, the goal is to stimulate economic growth and create a sustainable economy for the people of Belamonte to thrive in.
