Una Biological Reserve

Una Biological Reserve is a large protected area of tropical Atlantic Forest in a humid coastal region. The space shows different forest layers and contains various animal species living in their natural environment.

The area received official protection status in the early 1980s as part of a Brazilian initiative to safeguard forests. It was later incorporated into a network of other protected sites to improve coordination of conservation efforts.

The reserve takes its name from the nearby river that borders it, and it represents the region's commitment to protecting this forest space. Local communities view it as an essential part of their surroundings and their relationship with the natural world.

Visiting requires prior permission from environmental and biodiversity authorities. It is important to contact administrative offices in advance to arrange your visit to this location.

The reserve is known for sheltering several rare primate species found in few other places in this region. These animals have developed specialized ways to survive in the dense forest environment.
