"The spiny forest is an endemic ecosystem in the extremely arid south and south-west of the island.95% of the plants are endemic to this ecoregion, which is dominated by Didiereaceae species, which are adapted to the extreme aridity (less than 350mm rainfall pa in this area) by having spines and small leaves.The habitat is endangered because the trees are cut down for charcoal production or cleared for agricultural expansion."
