阿钦安阿纳雨林是由分布在该岛东部的六个国家公园组成。这些幸存至今的雨林对于延续生态进程的不断发展尤为重要，而这正是能够反映出马达加斯加岛地质发展史的生物多样性赖以生存的命脉。六千万年前，马达加斯加同大陆彻底分离，这里的动植物在孤立隔绝的状态下完成了进化过程。阿钦安阿纳雨林入选《名录》，不仅仅因为它对于生态和生物进程的重要性，更是由于雨林中的生物多样性和濒危物种。雨林中当地特有物种的比例非常之高，占所有种群的80%至90%。阿钦安阿纳雨林对于动物种群，特别是灵长目动物具有特别重要的意义。这里生活着很多珍稀和濒危物种，马达加斯加全部123种陆上哺乳动物中有78种栖息在这片雨林，包括被世界保护自然联盟列入《濒危物种红色名录》的72个物种，其中有至少25种狐猴。

The Rainforests of the Atsinanana are a serial property comprising six components. They contain globally outstanding biodiversity and have an exceptional proportion of endemic plant and animal species. The level of endemism within the property is approximately 80 to 90 percent for all groups, and endemic families and genera are common. The serial property comprises a representative selection of the most important habitats of the unique rainforest biota of Madagascar, including many threatened and endemic plant and animal species. Criterion (ix): The Rainforests of the Atsinanana are relict forests, largely associated with steeper terrain along the eastern escarpment and mountains of Madagascar. The protected areas included in this serial property have become critically important for maintaining ongoing ecological processes necessary for the survival of Madagascar's unique biodiversity. This biodiversity reflects Madagascar's geological history and geographic placement. It is the world's fourth largest island and has been separated from all other land masses for at least 60-80 million years and thus most of its plant and animal life has evolved in isolation. These forests have also offered important refuge for species during past periods of climate change and will be essential for the adaptation and survival of species in the light of future climate change. Criterion (x):The level of endemism within the property is approximately 80 to 90 percent for all groups, and endemic families and genera are common. Madagascar is among the top countries known for their megadiversity and features an extraordinarily high number (circa 12,000) of endemic plant species. The property is also globally significant for fauna, especially primates, with all five families of Malagasy primates, all endemic lemur families, seven endemic genera of Rodentia, six endemic genera of Carnivora, as well as several species of Chiroptera represented. Of the 123 species of non-flying mammals in Madagascar (72 of which are on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species), 78 occur within the property. The critical importance of the property is underlined by the fact that deforestation has left eastern Madagascar with only 8.5 percent of its original forests and the property protects key areas of this remaining habitat. All components of the serial property are formally protected as national parks and have management plans in place. Key management issues include effective control of agricultural encroachment and resource exploitation from logging, hunting, and gem mining. These issues require the implementation of clear and coordinated management strategies to manage the components of this serial property as a single entity. Also, coordinated planning and management of this serial property with adjacent protected areas and forest corridors is required, for which additional financial and human resources need to be obtained. There is potential for further extension of the property to include adjacent protected areas and forest corridors once they meet the conditions of integrity.
