Serra Geral do Tocantins Ecological Station, Ecological station in Bahia and Tocantins, Brazil.
The Serra Geral do Tocantins Ecological Station spans 707,078 hectares across rolling hills, savannas, and riverine forests in central Brazil.
Established in 2001, this ecological station emerged as a response to protect the cerrado biome from increasing agricultural expansion and urbanization threats.
Local communities near the station maintain traditional agricultural methods while participating in environmental education programs and conservation initiatives.
Access to the ecological station requires advance planning due to its remote location, with entry points accessible through municipalities of Formosa do Rio Preto and Mateiros.
The station contains 417 recorded plant species and houses a newly discovered bat species, Thyroptera devivoi, found within its protected boundaries.
