Anja Community Reserve, Nature reserve near Ambalavao, Madagascar.
The reserve extends across 30 hectares of woodland and freshwater lake at the base of granite cliffs with scattered boulders and caves.
The Betsileo people utilized the caves and gorges within the reserve as burial sites and refuge locations until the 1930s.
Association Anja Miray manages this reserve, converting former hunting grounds into a protected area while funding education and health projects.
Two hiking trails traverse the reserve, offering routes from two to six hours duration, with local guides required for all visitors.
The reserve contains Madagascar's largest population of ring-tailed lemurs, with approximately 300 individuals residing among the rocky formations.
