IBGE Ecological Reserve, Research reserve in Jardim Botânico, Brazil.

The IBGE Ecological Reserve covers 1,391 hectares of gently sloping plateau cut by stream valleys, 25 km south of central Brasília. Gallery forests along the Taquara, Roncador, Escondido, Monjolo and Pitoco streams cover about 104 hectares. The reserve has laboratories for animal and plant ecology, a weather station from 1979–80 and a plant-propagation nursery.

The reserve was established in 1975, transforming former grazing land into a research center managed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. This conversion enabled systematic study of regional ecosystems.

The reserve keeps a specialised library and a nursery started for studies on plant propagation, alongside laboratories for animal and plant ecology. Its name honours the Roncador stream that drains the land: the original title was Reserva Ecológica do Roncador, created in 1975, and the acronym RECOR survived the 1978 change to Reserva Ecológica do IBGE.

The site is primarily accessible to researchers who use laboratories and accommodation facilities. Visitors should inquire in advance, as access is restricted and guided tours may be required.

The reserve's acronym RECOR, from its former name Reserva Ecológica do Roncador, was kept after the 1978 renaming. By 2011 more than 1,000 scientific works had used data from the reserve, including 177 dissertations and theses. Its gallery forests cover about 104 hectares along the watercourses.
