flag: Madagascar

Madagascar is a large island nation located off the east coast of Africa. It's famous for being home to many unique animals.

The flag has white and red horizontal bands, and a green vertical band. These colors represent Madagascar's independence and its natural environment.

Each color of the flag holds significant meaning. White symbolizes purity, red represents sovereignty, and green stands for hope and the farmers. The flag was adopted upon independence in 1959.

Madagascar has one of the most unique ecosystems in the world. Made famous by the animated movie "Madagascar," it has recently gained more attention as an ecotourism destination. The conservation of endemic species, such as lemurs, is a particularly important environmental issue.
