Águas Emendadas Ecological Station, Ecological station in Planaltina, Brazil
The Águas Emendadas Ecological Station encompasses 10,547 hectares of protected cerrado biome, featuring savannas, scrublands, and gallery forests in the Federal District.
The area began as a biological reserve of 5,000 hectares in 1968 and expanded with the addition of Mestre D'Armas lagoon before becoming an ecological station in 1988.
The station maintains an Environmental Information Center with an auditorium where researchers and students learn about cerrado ecosystem conservation methods.
Research activities and educational visits require prior authorization, as this protected area restricts public access to maintain its preservation status.
Water streams from the station flow both northward to the Amazon River basin and southward to the Río de la Plata basin during rainy season floods.
