Brazilian Savanna
The Brazilian Savanna, also known as the Cerrado, is a vast tropical savanna ecosystem located primarily in central Brazil. It covers about 2 million square kilometers and is characterized by a mix of grasslands, shrubs, and scattered trees. The region experiences a distinct wet and dry season, supporting diverse wildlife and plant species.
This unique ecosystem is home to many endemic species, including the Brazilian tapir and the Giant anteater. The Cerrado plays a crucial role in Brazil's biodiversity and is vital for carbon storage, water regulation, and agriculture, making it an important area for conservation efforts.
