Atlantic Forest, Tropical rainforest biome along Brazil's Atlantic coast
The Atlantic Forest extends 3,000 kilometers along Brazil's coast from Rio Grande do Norte to Rio Grande do Sul, covering multiple climate zones.
Portuguese colonists encountered this vast ecosystem in the 1500s when it covered 1.5 million square kilometers as Earth's second-largest rainforest.
The forest provides resources and ancestral lands for Tupi and Guarani communities who maintain traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and forest management.
Conservation areas within the Atlantic Forest remain accessible through guided tours from major cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
This forest contains 264 mammal species and 23,000 plant species, with 40% of its vascular plants existing nowhere else on Earth.
