Reserva Ecológica Mata do Pau-Ferro, Ecological reserve in Areia, Paraíba, Brazil.
The Mata do Pau-Ferro Reserve spans across an elevated region with deep valleys, representing a protected segment of Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil.
In 1992, the Vaca Brava site became an ecological reserve through Decree 14.832, and in 2005 it was reclassified as a state park.
The Chã do Jardim community conducts local tourism activities, including nature trails, forest picnics, and organic produce markets supported by Sebrae.
Located 9 kilometers from Areia city, the reserve sells entrance tickets from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays through the Paraíba State Environmental Administration.
This protected area contains one percent of the remaining elevated Atlantic Forest in Paraíba state, making it essential for regional biodiversity conservation.
