Brazilian Atlantic Forest

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest, or "Mata Atlântica," is a diverse and lush tropical rain forest along Brazil's southeastern coast. It once covered a vast area, but now less than 15% remains due to urbanization, agriculture, and deforestation. This rich ecosystem is home to many unique plants, animals, and bird species found nowhere else. It's vital for biodiversity, climate regulation, and water cycles. Preserving what's left of the Atlantic Forest is crucial for environmental health and supporting countless species, making it a priority for conservation efforts in Brazil.
