Question

A 2021 TIME magazine report claims a famine on this island was the first in modern history to be caused by global warming alone. This (15[1])island is home (15[1])to the destructive tavy (“tay-vee”) method of agriculture. Captain Kidd's ship Adventure Galley was sunk near this larger island, and a “pirate graveyard” is located on the outlying Ile Sainte-Marie. This island is home to vulnerable species (15[1])such as Meller's Duck and the (*) fossa (10[3])(“foo-suh”) which may have (10[2])“rafted” to this island. (10[2])Lake Alaotra (-5[1])is known as this island's “granary,” for its huge rice (10[1])paddies. The Merina people are this country's largest ethnic group, (10[1])which speaks the westernmost Austronesian language: Malagasy. For 10 points, name this Lemur-infested island off the Eastern coast of Africa, governed from Antananarivo. ■END■ (10[1])
