IBGE Ecological Reserve, Research reserve in Jardim Botânico, Brazil.
The IBGE Ecological Reserve is a research protected area with varied natural habitats located near Brasília. The site contains laboratories and designated observation zones where scientists study the local animal and plant life.
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 maintains extensive scientific collections and databases, supporting research projects through collaboration between IBGE staff and national and international institutions.
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 houses more than 4000 documented species, including 55 endangered species found nowhere else in the Cerrado ecosystem. This high biodiversity makes it important for preserving and studying this biome.
