The Central Brazilian Highlands, also known as the Brazilian Plateau, is a vast region characterized by elevated terrain and rolling hills. It spans several states in Brazil, including Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Mato Grosso do Sul. The highlands are rich in biodiversity and feature various ecosystems, including savannas and forests. This region plays a crucial role in Brazil's climate and hydrology, as it is the source of many important rivers, such as the São Francisco and Tocantins. The highlands also support agriculture and livestock farming, contributing significantly to the country's economy.
