WILD ATLANTIC FOREST OF BRAZIL

All is not lost

An episode from the series NATURE SANCTUARIES

Synopsis

The State of Bahia in Brazil is home to a forest much less known than the Amazon: the Atlantic Forest. Dense and humid, it stretches along the ocean of the same name.

Initially one of the largest ecosystems in South America, the drastic reduction in its surface area has led to the loss of many plant and animal species.

Yet, it plays a vital role as a home to endemic species and unique ecosystems.
