Serra Negra Biological Reserve, Biological reserve in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Serra Negra Biological Reserve spans across 624 hectares at the summit of an inselberg, forming a rainforest island within the Caatinga region.
The reserve, established on September 20, 1982, was initially created to prevent nuclear waste deposits from the Angra dos Reis Nuclear Power Plant.
The Serra Negra area holds historical importance as the native territory where the Huamoé language was spoken by indigenous communities.
Research and educational visits require authorization from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, which manages the protected area.
The reserve maintains a tropical rainforest climate at 1,065 meters altitude, supporting trees up to 30 meters tall within the dry Caatinga environment.
