BRAZIL, THE ATLANTIC FOREST OF BAHIA

All is not lost

An episode from the series NATURE SANCTUARIES

Synopsis

Brazil, and particularly the State of Bahia, 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. Despite this, the Atlantic Forest harbors an incredible diversity of plant species and plays a vital role as a home to endemic species and unique ecosystems.

With its thick massifs, wetlands, and mangroves, the Atlantic Forest remains a precious and unique natural space whose preservation is an absolute priority.
