France colonized it in 1896. It has faced political turmoil in recent decades and elected a president in January 2014. The world’s fourth largest island, its climate ranges from tropical coastal to temperate inland and arid south. About 20 percent forest covers the landscape, with many endemic species of lemurs and chameleons. French Malagasy and English are official languages.
