Sainte Luce Reserve, Nature reserve in southeastern Madagascar.
The reserve spans one kilometer in length and encompasses coastal rainforest, mangroves, and pristine beaches along the southeastern Madagascar coastline.
Established in 2009, the Sainte Luce Reserve emerged as a response to protect one of Madagascar's last remaining fragments of coastal rainforest.
Local guides from surrounding communities share their knowledge of traditional Malagasy forest management practices while leading visitors through the reserve.
Visitors access the reserve by crossing a lagoon in traditional pirogues and can participate in conservation activities from two weeks to ten weeks.
The reserve houses five lemur species, including the Sainte Luce mouse lemur, which remains geographically isolated from other populations.
