Serra da Ibiapaba Environmental Protection Area, Environmental Protection Area across Ceará and Piauí, Brazil.

The Serra da Ibiapaba Environmental Protection Area spans 1,592,550 hectares of land, featuring cerrado grasslands, caatinga shrublands, and Atlantic Forest remnants.

The federal government established this conservation zone in 1996 to protect the natural resources and ecological systems of northeastern Brazil.

The indigenous Tabajaras and Tapuias populations maintained strong connections to this land, trading natural products with European settlers during colonial times.

Located 340 kilometers from Fortaleza and 300 kilometers from Teresina, the area provides opportunities for sustainable agriculture and ecological research.

Red-handed howler monkeys find refuge in the higher elevation forests, where three distinct Brazilian biomes intersect in this protected territory.
