The Sources de Namorona are natural spring waters associated with the Namorona River in the Ranomafana area of the Fianarantsoa Region, eastern Madagascar, where bicarbonate-mineral waters flow through a landscape of spectacular biological diversity at the boundary between the central highland plateau and the steep eastern rainforest escarpment. The Namorona River valley, the hydrological heart of Ranomafana National Park, supports extraordinary concentrations of endemic Madagascar wildlife including golden bamboo lemurs, greater bamboo lemurs, and dozens of reptile species found nowhere else on Earth. The springs and their associated river environment represent a living connection between Madagascar's geothermal activity and the extraordinary ecological legacy of an island that has been isolated long enough to evolve entirely unique forms of life.
