Carajás is a mountain range located in the northern part of Brazil, primarily in the state of Pará. It is known for its rich deposits of minerals, particularly iron ore, making it one of the most significant mining areas in the world. The region is part of the larger Amazon Rainforest, which contributes to its unique biodiversity. The Carajás region is home to the Carajás National Forest, a protected area that aims to preserve its natural resources and wildlife. The area is also inhabited by indigenous communities, such as the Kayapó, who rely on the forest for their livelihoods and cultural practices.
