Termite mounds abound either side of the road outside of Ilakaka, Ihorombe Region, Madagascar.The landscape outside of Ilakaka is notably marked by a high density of conical-shaped termite mounds, which are conspicuous features of the savannah here. These mounds vary in size, colour, and condition, with many being abandoned or relict structures from past activity.Termites aerate the soil, improving water infiltration and nutrient cycling, which often results in richer, more fertile soil on and around the mounds, where vegetation might grow differently than in surrounding areas.
